Passenger side window rolls up much slower than driver's side - Honda Prelude Forum

I've noticed that the passenger side window on my 99 rolls up and down a lot slower than my driver's side window. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? If there is problem, what could be the cause? Am I just being a nerd?

yeah, mine does that too.. especially when I'm trying to roll up both my windows at once..

your window channels are dirty the best way to make it better is to take the door panels off and clean the window channels and spray them with some silicone, honda does the same thing

If you roll your windows up one at a time, they will roll up fast. But when your rolling up 2, it draws more current, so one is going to roll slower. I may be wrong but thats what I have noticed

do you have AEM pulleys? that'll cause it too, but they're probably dirty. my passenger rolls up slower too :

: I just wait a half second longer

i believe that's actually normal. been happening since i bought my car new

Mine did that since I baught mine brand new as well (99). Before my warranty ran out, I took it to the dealer and they fixed it no prob. Then I got the pullies and noticed both windows were a bit slower at idle, then when I revved, back to normal.

happends to me too...

it was like that in my old accord as well....it was rediculously slow. you could put your hand in and out like 10 times before it finally rolled up.

ROFL I have never had that prob. I have only revved to roll up my windows faster like 1 or 2 times. I usually wait till I'm in motion.
