mwatt Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 So, since i've had my impreza... i've been sort of annoyed at how slow & wussy the power windows are... so i'm thinking i may want to upgrade my motors to get some real nut in those windows... any thoughts?I also think i may have a bad ground in the passenger rear door.. that window is DEATHLY slow... I'll open up the doors when it stops raining (yeah right.. ) and see what sort of motor will fit in there I want to have enough power in those suckers to crush a hand real good, right now, if i try to squish my hand (i got bored today.. give me a break..) it doesn't really hurt that much.. the motor just wusses out... i need some hand crushing power!!! All of these posts about power window speed but no one has asked "does the window operate faster with the door open?" If a window operates faster with the door open, lubricate the window opening surround weatherstrip using an old cloth soaked with silicon spray. That allows the glass to glide across the strip, rather than bind against it as the glass goes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all this time I imagined you to be as pure as new-fallen snow, with a halo glowing above your head.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
