Hi, How many seconds do your windows take to go down or up? I've notice my driver window take about 4 seconds to go up, is this regular? cause i feel it is too slow. Alex

What year is your car? Many GM models had a service bulletin regarding slow operation of the power windows, which would seem to get worse with age. If I remember right, the correct repair was to replace the window motor with the updated one.

Unless the guides or tracks are dry, I'd say that you've got the motor problem.

You can try spraying a good silicone lubricant in the channels where the leading and back edges of the glass ride and fit into. Sometimes these can get dry, and by lubing them can free the window up a little bit. What the hell, it's a cheap thing to try.

My drivers side window was always slow...a few days ago I left my windows down and it POURED into my car all over the place...anyway...I rolled them up that night while it was still pouring and wiped up as much as possible...the next day, my window won't go down, won't move at all...it is JUST the drivers side window...the passenger side control still works. Any suggestions?

My drivers window takes 5 seconds to go up.
GMPP kit comes with the koni adjustable shocks, stiffer springs (.5" lower) new strut mounts, boots all new hardware, insulators the works. All assembled and ready to install. Just pull the old ones out (5 bolts) and install the new ones far as I know. I wanted better shocks/ but didnt want the car lowered much. Getting KYBs with new mounts and having them installed would run just as much as this kit and this includes springs.
