2008 2.3 Electric Window Juddering - fredthefifth
Hi All,

Drivers side electric window has started to judder. I tried cleaning the glass but no improvement.

Car is still under warranty but is there a quick DIY fix or is it likely to be something mechanical that I should take it back for?

Thanks for any advice.

I find that a spray with silicone lubricant (not WD40) around the frame the glass runs in keeps the windows moving smoothly. If that doesn't work dust off the warranty.

I use Halfords Nylon and Rubber spray on guides. Lasts quite a long time.

On an 08 model I'd take it back so the fualt is logged. There is no way the guides have clogged up in such a short time. Regards Peter
