Power windows on your car are considered a standard feature and are very useful. Unfortunately the power window is part of the electrical system and has several moving parts. They can get damaged and often do so at the most inopportune times. The problem can be found in parts that are old and worn. But, sometimes the real problem is a lack of maintenance. If your electric window is damaged, then you need an automotive window specialist. The following is how to care for the power window so that it continues to function optimally, which Otodiva.com has quoted from Wheels by Wovka. Yuk, take a look!
Apply Lubricant to the Window
If you roll the window all the way down, the rubber on each side of the window will move slowly together. This gives you a chance to lubricate all the moving parts. Just use a silicone spray and spray liberally on the window. You should do this every 3 moon. The drier and hotter the weather, the more often it needs to be done. After you spray the lubricant, leave it for 30 seconds lifting the window up and down several times. This will ensure all parts are coated with silicone spray.
Apply Lubricant to the Rubber Seal
Your windows are held in position by rubber seals located on the car doors. This helps to guide the glass inside the door without scratching the glass. Unfortunately, this rubber seal can be exposed to wind, Rain, sun, and road dirt. They can dry out quickly and even contain small pieces of sand that can damage the window or window mechanism. To prevent it, immediately take a clean cloth and add a little lithium oil. Rub along the rubber until it coats it completely. You should leave it for approx 5 minutes to absorb completely. Don't forget to do this on the side and top rubber seals. this will ensure they last as long as possible and still look good.
Provide Maintenance To The Machine
If your window is stuck then the above options will help. However, if you try it and find it makes no difference, chances are your window machine is starting to need maintenance. You have to decide whether you want to disassemble the door panel yourself to see the engine or whether you should seek expert help. The power window engine works hard to move the window up and down but can become strained when you keep trying to close it when the window is already closed.
These are some ways to care for the power windows in your car so that they continue to function optimally.
