fwiw, the video of the guy in Japan helped me figure out my own window issue - the clock spring was binding in my case.
I shot some WD40 in there (there is an access hole in the door funny enough) and then ran the window up and down a bunch of times. It’s faster now but still making some odd noises. I’ll remove it for some real TLC after the auto-x season is done. It probably needs a good soak in vinegar (or maybe just a cleaning?) and then some kind of oil to protect it and ensure it can move freely.
any recc on what to coat it with to protect it?
Love this video series btw. Good info, good pace, and thankfully - subtitles.
