Hello all, new to the site and to the Bonneville world...loving it so far!
Last night I had a hell of a time getting my drivers side power window to go up. It rolls down fine but goes up very slow. I had to keep pushing the switch up and within 3 secs you could hear it disengage and it would only move up 1/4" at a time or so. Thankfully I got it all the way up again and now am looking for some guidance on where to go from here. I wouldn't think it would be anything in the track holding things up since it does seem to roll down fine. Is it a relay, regulator, motor? I'm in MN and the cold weather seems to have put a fork in things, I have noticed it progressively getting slower and it seemed to be making more noise than normal lately. Looking to tear into it this weekend and get the problem fixed.


Also can you let a rookie know how do I post a pic of my ride in the signature? Its a 2003 SSEI and she's pretty : ) Thanks! -Nick

Remove the regulator and closely inspect the cabling and routing. If everything appears fine, lube everything well with silicone grease. Also, remove the "set screw" from the motor. The arrow in the picture points to it. That is for a rear regulator, but it should look about the same.) Squirt some grease in, and replace the set screw, but don't make it too tight. See if any of that helps.

I have not had troubles with it lately, the extreme cold seems to be the only time it is an issue so I just refrain from using it in below zero temps. This spring once things warm up I will but some silicone type lube on the tracks and hopefully that takes care of things. Thanks for your help.

It likely would help some if I actually post the picture. :oops:
