    Hello Jim.

    I know of an Aussie Fchatter that removed the cable pullies from the door and cleaned and lubricated them all. I think that is all that he did and his windows work great now. :):)

    I will try and find his post and clarify it for you. Or I will just get him to post in here with some more info on how and what he did. But I am sure he said his windows were very slow, now they work perfect. :D:D

    Here ya go Jim. I found a link to his thread for you. There are pics in that thread also.

    Robert actually serviced the window motors and he lubricated the cables. :):)

    He also fitted some of the window "boosters" from Fchatter Rodney Dickman. I also have some in my 348 and they work GREAT! I do not have Rodney's fitted, but they would be the same as mine I can imagine. ;);)

    First step would be to spray the window felts and tracks with silicone lubricant...Use the nozzle applicator to control it and not get it on the paint. That made a HUGE difference on my 308. Next would be those accelerator thingies.
