Window rollers painfully slow

[DenverDadofTwins]

Is that just the way of things with 2nd gens? Windows take a lot longer to roll down than the 2013 Silverado I had before

From the '70s through the 2000s, my GM cars all had slow window motors. They were especially slow and seemed to bind up in our new to use '04, so we changed them out only to discover that the new ones worked exactly the same! But they run completely different in the 2009! FAST!

Best you can do is clean the old grease from the regulator assembly (slides, drive pulley box, etc.) and apply fresh grease. After what I experienced a few months back, I think this should be performed on all windows, maybe every 3-5 years.

Shut up. Ignorance is bliss. I have enough projects for when the doors are disassembled.
































*Begrudgingly adds "gauge up motor wires" to list

When the jerkwad smashed my window in, back in September, he managed to damage my regulator as well so I had to replace the regulator. It seems to go and down a little faster after the regulator replacement.
