The windows on the chim seem rather slow to go up when compared to any other car i've had, i know its a common prob but i've found this link

http://www.chimaerapages.com/resources_window.php

Prob is with speaker grill removed i cant really see what i should be lubricating, there is a round cylinder about 2" long which i assume is the motor, any one done this at all and can point me in the right direction??

Part of the motor is visible with the speaker removed (it has a connector block attached to it with a blue wire and a black wire).

There's a steel tube coming from the motor assembly, the other end connects to a rail across the bottom of the window glass. It's mounted centrally. This tube is open (there's a slit along its length a couple of millimetres wide). Inside there's a flexible screw, resembling a spring. It's possible to spray lithium grease into the entire length of this tube.

Each edge of the window sits in a runner. Spray silicone lubricant into both runners from the top. If you spray enough in it will soak through to the bottom. It should make quite a difference to the speed the windows operate.
