Window lube worked better than I expected.
 
Not that this should come as a news flash to anyone but the results were so much better than I expected, I just needed to share.
I had my door panels off my 84 Targa yesterday to replace the door speakers and put on sound deadening material. I figured while I had the panels off I would lubricate the window regulators and the door latching hardware. Well I didn't think my windows were that slow before I lubed them but they are easily twice as fast as they were before.
I can imagine that is how they would have worked if you were driving the car home from the dealership in 1984.
I used a white lithium spray, that I have used for that same application for years.
So if your windows are slower than you remember or you just happen to have your door panels off, give your regulators a shot or two, it might save you a burnt out power window motor.

Sounds like a good idea for a rainy day in the garage...
My driver's side window is 1/2 the speed going up as that of the passenger side !

Come to think of it,new weekend project ... lol

Cheers !

I let my windows race each other...either direction, they're dead on a match,....so far.

No doubt, Lube everything behind that panel......

..man...THAT kinda' improvement is impressive.

Best,

Doyle
