Tight Window

[CrazyJoe]

So my wife and kids finally had enough for their window. It takes some muscle to roll theirs down, and I admit its about 3-4 times stiffer than the driver side.

I popped the door covers off on the inside, and took a look... and quite honestly, I don't see a visual difference in the coil spring that is under the handle on either side, and I don't even know what else to really check out for adjustment. Anyone got some pointers?

Any help on loosening up a window roll down, much appreciated!

I just did this recently, myself. Buy an aeresol can of white lithium grease and douse all moving parts liberally. Hit the locking and latching mechanisms while you're at it. ;D ;D ;D

There is room for adjustment in the tracks. There are two screws at the bottom of the door, one for each side, I think they (the tracks) can be moved back and forth a little bit to make more room for the door glass. I would think the track on the vent window side would be the easiest to adjust. Just loosen it up a little, and see if that makes a difference. If it is easier, just move it back a little and re-tighten.
