01PathySE Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Hmm Ill have to try the silicone spray too since my driver side window is awful slow. My window motor also sounds like its struggling compared to the sound of the passenger side. Did you guys experience this too? I guess it would sound like that because of no lubrication anyways and doesn't necessarily mean its on its way out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's what mine sounded like...and it was only the driver side window too for some reason. The weather is warming up here and the window seizing problem has stopped so I'm going to hold off the silicone lube until the 05 winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardwaretoad Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Think about it, the driver's side gets used more. It's probably a combination of gunk in the tracks and burned/pitted contacts in the operating switch. The lube will help no matter what time of year it is, BTW...

Guest girlpath Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 It's been over a month since I sprayed mine, and it has been very cold, then warmer, and now cold again. My windows are working very well. I wouldn't wait until next winter to spray. The lubrication helps the motor. I'm going to spray mine at regular intervals, maybe every oil change or something.

Trialsin26 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I have had the same results and it has been about a month. But I wouldn't spray it every oil change it might get to gunkie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dustinto Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I have a 2001 Nissan Frontier and it is doing the same thing, but now it will not work at all. I though it was the switch so I have taken it apart and got it rigged up and had it working good for a while but then one night after getting some taco bell it would not roll up for a while. You think this could be my problem? I hope my switch is not messed up not since I have been messing with it. I lost one of the springs that was in the switch so I replaced it with an eraser that I cut and modified to fix perfectly...I hope it will work. Do you guys know where I can get a used switch at? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dustinto Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Well that didn't work for me so I guess it is the switch. :furious: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaarrEagle Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Has anyone found this stuff at a US dealer? When I call around I get an invalid part number and they try to sell me some other stuff. They say its the only silicon lubricant they have - think its the same stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02PATHFINDER Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 im sorry to bring this thread back after so long , but would the silicone spray mess up the tint on the window? and can i just use any silicone spray from autozone or does it have to be one from the dealer, this thread helped me out, i was really thinking it was my window motor or truck battery , but i knew something wasnt right bc it was happening even when the weather here in NY was about 50 F , i just have the problem with the 2 front windows going up and down slow, the back windows go up and down with no problem luv this website, i been looking for a pathfinder site that alot of people go to , all the other pathfinder sites dont have too many visitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonianbrat Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 where excactly do i spray this sillicon spray? I have a pathy with a slow driver window in need of lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OR99.5Speed Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Cool fix! This also has happened in my brand new Xterra. The Patfinder's passenger front window is so slow to go up, and the passenger rear window has trouble doing down. I sure hope this fixes it!

90seven Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I know this is old, but will the silicone affect my tint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnerman Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I know this is old, but will the silicone affect my tint? No don't spray it on your window you are spraying it in your door like the pics show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90seven Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Oh, I was just thinking it might rub around the window onto the sides of the tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02silverpathy Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) I got some on my tint and rubbed it off with a soft cloth (no solvents ) and it caused no problem. ...if you don't get it all off the tint you will see the smudge anyway. ...I don't think that is poses any threat to the tint glue even if it is off the shelf tint from a parts store. .............PS way to use the search function!!

Trainman Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) I did my two fronts windows today. What a huge improvment! And so easy following the instructions on page 2 of this thread, thanks runerman :bow: . I used Kleen Slip by Kleen-flo, stock no. 742 (someone would ask ) rather than the Nissan stuff.

kmgar99 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Spray? That's it? A simple, anyone can do, inexpensive repair to a 10,000 part machine? What about all of our tools? Our epoxy-floored garage? Our weekends' with no football? Our top dog status? What are we going to do with all of that?? No way man! I'm ripping the doors off, missing the special night out with the wife, smashing my fingers, scaring the dog, leaving grease stains on every glass, plate, bowl and portable phone I leave stacked on the roof of the Pathy .. because I want everyone to be happy, dammit. Because only we know, it ain't that simple. Classic! Might I add.....Spray, Schmay....tear the doors apart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Spray! Spray! Every one should do it. I did not even know I had a problem until I did it! Boy, what a change! And the wife works much better now too :o Amazing stuff, silicone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Now that the topic has been brought back up, are any of the products you've used found at a place like Home Depot? My dealer didn't have any idea what I was talking about and looked at me like an idiot. Sounds like a few people used normal silicone so I'll need to try that if I can't find anything else.
