Just recently the drivers side window in my TJ w/full hard doors, goes down to about half way, really easy. Then it stiffens right up. I role the window back up about an inch, then role it down again maybe 3 or 4 inches before it gets hard to role again, and repeat the process untill its all the way down. Roling the window up is never a problem. I didnt spill anything down the window, it just started happening about 2 weeks ago.
I know.. I said hard, sticky, and stiffen! haha ;D
Any ideas?

Do you have track marks on the window or is it still clean?

Check to see if your Blinker fluid is low!
Get some litheum greace at the auto part store, smear it all over the regulator and crank arms. see if that helps. (part store won't have the regulator it is a dealer part) if that does not help, check outthe condition os the felt and seals. my 77 blazers window always had trouble going down, turns out it was the rubber sealer, Due to age, it would stick to the glass.

Jon, by "rubber sealer" do you mean the rubber lips that seal the bottom of the window where it meets the door? Cause come to find out, that my inside rubber seal thing is catching on the window and roling inward. What did you do to fix your blazer, as this sounds pretty identical. Oh, and of course I was kidding about the KY....  |
