Slow/Stuck Power Windows - Dried Factory Grease on Scissor Lift Assembly

Body/InteriorintermediateCommunity Verified
Problem

Power windows become extremely slow or completely stuck, particularly the passenger side window. The window motor appears to be failing but is usually still functional.

Window moves very slowlyWindow gets stuck in the down position and won't budgePassenger side window slower than driver sideWindow motor appears weak or dead
Root Cause

The factory grease on the window scissor lift assembly rails and wheels has dried out over the decades, creating excessive friction that prevents the motor from moving the window properly. The motor itself is usually fine.
