My electric window on the drivers side has got slower over the last few months normally when going up. I am going to strip the door panel off and clean the brush/runner, is there anything that is recommended to use a a cleaner? WD40, Duck oil etc

It could also be a dodgy electrical connection somewhere.

I managed to kill Jo's battery when he jumped my Cerb from his (sorry Jo ) and he took the opportunity to clean up all the battery contacts while the battery was disconnected. The end result was full speed windows...

I used some silicone grease in the window channel after cleaning it first as it was full of gunk. Probably because it goes everyhwere with the window down so I can hear the exhaust better.

As above make sure the electrics are clean as I get the impression that the windows draw quite a bit when moving.

Ditto.

Check/clean both connectors. You can see on of the connectors undone on the photo..., the one in the hole. Theres also the main connector which you'll have to unclip to totally remove the door panel.



The other one is above the date.
