Slow front electric windows

[ah]

My front driver and passengers Windows go up and down very slowly,the passengers occasionally stops half way up or down.Ive never oiled or greased any part ,should I,or is there another reason for this.The rear windows are fine.

You could try winding the windows using the emergency handle from the tool kit, if it is very stiff it sounds as though it could do with lubricating, if not the motors are bit tired after many years. I do not know if there is any guide to lubrication, but taking off the door card and plastic sheet, and then oiling or greasing anything that looks as though it might benefit is where I would start.

[ah]

Cheers for the info,I'll give it a go.

You might try lubricating the window frame rails that the windows sits in with Silicone lubricant. Friction created by the window rails can be part of the reason for a slowing motor.

Yes indeed, well worthwhile.
