Do a search under Rick for “Shin Etsu” without the quotes. It will cure you of any problem you might be having with your window lifts …
ok...
If your windows stick and you take it to the dealership, this is the stuff they use to lube the run channels. It's a silicon grease which is amazing stuff. Honda part number 08798-9013. A 100g tube will run you about $14 or so, and not all dealerships will carry it. But it's worth it. The dealership applied a really thin layer of this to my window run channels and got them moving like new again
great! cool so i found some of the stuff on ebay. can someone please tell me what and where the "run channels" are for the windows? I'm assuming you mean the rubber strip that goes along the side of the window but i rubbed a bit into those strips two nights ago and the windows perform exactly as crappily as before.
found some pretty defensive posts about this problem claiming there is no problem w/ honda's power windows.. but.. uhm.. come on give me a break. i have to sit there and gently PUSH the window up along with using the power win switch to get both windows to close and i dont want to be doing that any more... I live in a rather foggy area of san francisco and i notice that the windows raise LIGHTNING fast after the first hour or so of the first day of a rain storm. after a few hours of sitting in a storm and if i happen to need to lower my windows, they will not close. i've almost gotten killed in traffic on the freeway, trying to push my driver window up while rain is POURING in the window. it's rediculous.
