Trouble Getting it Up

...Q1 & Q2 a good quality general purpose grease (Castrol LM) would be my choice.....

I did think of putting a Q3 which would have been, "should I stop being anal and just slap a load of Castrol LM on it?"

Guess I've got my answer

Just refitted the window and lifter after fitting new seals ( this stuff) and thoroughly greasing the lifter assembly. No problem getting it up now

It does strike me as odd that there is no electric cut-out when the window reaches the up and down limits of its travel. Isn't the circuit over-loaded if the switch isn't released quickly enough? How hard would it be to make a cut out? I was thinking of something which worked on current load rather than fiddling about with micro switches.

i think if there was a cut-out based on current loading, very few people would have working windows. Sticky motors, thick old grease and worn runner rubbers would be tripping the cut-out all the time.

Good to see your efforts have resolved the issue.

Good point. I won't bother with that then

I've noticed the central locking servos are held in with countersunk self-tapping wood screws and so wobble about quite a bit. These are now being replaced with machine screws and nylocks
