power windows

[ENBr]

I didn't want to hijack the other power windows thread, but I wondered, on my kj the windows rise up very slowly, and the motor makes quite a strained noise.

Is this common to all the KJs, or something for the dealership to look at?

My 2006 has similar issues. I think it is normal. The windows in my other Chrysler products are similar.

Put some WD-40 or some oil in the rubbers where the window slides up. The noise you are hearing is the power window belt slipping on the gear. I had mine replaced twice, at least its no more noise now, I only had it fixed because I didn't want to be stuck somewhere with the window down when it was raining/snowing.

The oil should help them work a little better though. Good luck.

Isn't there something better than wd40 as you wouldn't want oil all over?

I mean even a little bit and you would have it on the window, wouldn't you?

I guess there could be something better. That is what I use on mine, without any major problem. I just use some trigger control and send it pretty light out through the little red nozzle. I usually roll down the window, then squirt it in the front and rear track, then take the window up and down a few times. After I am done, I usually give it a quick cleaning, on the inside, and its all set. Really where the oil is, you will never see anyway, due to it being covered by the rubber track. I suppose if you were concerned about spraying all over, you could use some 3 in 1 oil, or some other light oil. It doesn't take much.

The tracks should be greased with white Lithium grease, that's most likely what they already use on them.

Mine go up and down fast, but my driver's front makes a pop just as it reaches the top, and when going down, it hits bottom harder than the other 3 also...not sure what's up with it.

our renegade does the same thing, maybe it's normal?
