So when i go to roll up my passenger side window it goes up slow and it makes a squeeking sound it so annoying i cant stand it its almost as bad as nails on a chalk board. Why is it making this sound and how can I get it to stop!? :uh:

im geussin get new window motors??????

 

[fat_78carlo]

its either the motors or try greasing the window tracks and moving parts, it might fix it. motors are a bitch to change if they are rivited to the door.
but if there bolted on each door that does it shouldn't take longer than 15 minuetes each.

I changed the motor of my right window of my 82 cutlass and it took me like 1 hour to doit.

practice makes perfect :biggrin:

i dont know how to do any of that stuff and im hesitant to take it to the dealership because i know they will charge me an arm and a leg to get it fixed. :uh:

 

[fat_78carlo]

u can look at it one way or anotther

1. u got to learn shit on ur own sometimes and save some cash
or loose more cash its a chance ud have to take. BUT windows and motors are not to hard or confusing, id try grase or w-d4o just to see if that fixes it first.

2. go to the dealer and get ripped off ( if u chose this way u should call around to all the shops and see what they say, shops are almost always way cheaper than a dealership.

If i were to try and grease it where would i spray it at??? My window doesnt seem to go up slow just when it does go up it makes a loud high pitch squeeking sound. Yall know what im talking about?

U SHOULD BUY ONE OF THOSE BOOKS THAT THEY SELL AT AUTOZONE.THOSE BOOKS SHOW U ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS U NEED TO DO IT.SO U SHOULD GO TO AUTOZONE AND SEE IF THEY HAVE THAT BOOK FOR YOUR CAR IT HELPS ALOT.

 

[cadillac6]

I have that book

 

[Big Baller 82cutlass]

Thats how I did mine by following the instructions in there.It worked for me but I dont know if Caddy's are harder to do or something.But you should try it and see if u can do it.

take the door panel off and spray some white lithium grease on the tracks(you'll see them). See if the platic window rollers are broken at the same time, i believe they are egg shaped(maybe orange in color). If one is broken, that'll do it. Otherwise the track probably just needs to be greased.

we use silicone spray in the felt channels, sometimes they dry out and tight fitting rubber on glass never works good, try that before you even take off the dorr panel.
