power windows sluggish

[PapiChuu]

anyone noticing this besides me? when i roll my power windows up they kinda lazily go up, like theyre about to just give up

Mine do the same thing... not sure what the problem is, something to mention to toyota, next time I take here in? Anyone else have the problem?

yes, i believe mine have become a lot more sluggish as time has gone on, also, when i wash my car at those self wash bays, water and soap get in my car...my window, especially the driver side window and molding leak...it drips down the window and on to the door...do you think toyota will repair these moldings under warranty? thanks, Tim

i think toyota did the leak thing on purpose, some saftey thing... everyones does that...

mine roll up slowly too, the drivers side more so...

Mine do the same thing...on some nights when it's really cold it seems really sluggish to roll back up.

Speaking of car washes, I learned to not roll down the windows until after at least 2 hours have gone by from the wash (all of the water that remains in the track)

Mine too! They started going up slow & LOUD probably back at
15 - 20 thousand miles. I complained every time I took it in for service & finally they replaced the passenger side. I need to take it back in for the drivers side as well. One bad thing is the morans scratched my tint at the top & near the rear view mirror.
They're paying for it though so I guess it works out.
Have it replaced before your warranty expires or the parts/labor will cost you over $700- for both!!!

Yes. This is true for my car too. It's worst on the driver side than the passenger side.

yea, i noticed the same thing with my driver's side window. it especially gets sluggish when it is almost closed. however, when it the window is all wet, it goes up and down as if it were new. so, this leads me to believe that the black rubber thing near the side mirror might just be gunked up with dirt. maybe we need to clean the inside of that, eh?

Same here with the window. The molding is not sealing the window. Toyota said that they may have to replace molding or adjust window.

[ultimategts]

mine do that too, prop, for saftey

Mine do it as well, as everyone said the drivers side more so than the passenger side one. It seems like its struggling.

I believe the solution to slow power windows is relubricating the mechanism inside. Also, this link offers some solutions: http://www.vfaq.com/mods/PW.html

I would just complain to Toyota and make them fix it.

Maybe because of big speaker behind your car that cause the windows to loosen some screws in you door panel.
