Passenger window stuck????

[oo7snake]

Greetings, went to resurrect my 94 chimaera yesterday,(been in the garage for the last few months), only to find that the passenger window stuck in the up position?? This has never given me hassle before, any clues????

Possible that the glass has stuck to the rubber inserts in the channel. Try squirting some silicone lubricant or WD40 while gentle easing the rubber from the glass with a wooden or blunt plastic probe. If all that looks OK investigate the electric connectors on the motor/switch.

Don't use WD40! It will attack the rubber, make it swell up & jam the window even more in the future.

Leadfoot: What sort of WD40 do you use? Info on the product says its safe for rubber - US products don't normally go out on a limb if there's a risk of litigation.

I've never thought of WD40 as that sort of lube!
I'll mention it to the missus next time she puts the cat suit on.

My drivers window got stuck & with the help of some clever friends it was found to be the electrical connections were very wet. Took them to bits & dried them, works like a treat now.
Could be worth a try?
