Hi Guys
Its a EF GLi I have been having some problems with winding my drives side window up and down ( its a hand winder one )..It moves side to side in the runner and gets stuck  I even brought a new winder assembly for it but its still the same.I have brought some spray and that works ok for a about 1 min..than it get stuck again. I have also tried to adjust the tracks them selves but that dose not help much I would not worrie to much but its going for a roadworthy soon. Has anyone got any ideas on how I could fix this Thanks Lucion |

I wonder if you can buy new ones...well its driving me nuts I know it wont pass a roadworthy like it si

find another door and ease or pry the rubber out off the channels,remove the class first,the whole rubber comes out,wash the track grooves with a tooth brush of similar to remove dirt ,mould and built up crap,when its dry use the micro fine graphite powder,small puffer type bottle about a 50mls size,it does wash out with time.clean your glass edges and rub some on before you put the glass back in.
