Slow electric windows

    I have noticed for a while that my electric windows seem slow
    Compared to the gf's vtr and her old 1.1

    I have replaced one of the mechanisms + motor, but this didn't solve anything

    Any Ideas?

    I did think that at first, but that was over a year ago.

    Check your connections on the alternator are clean & not corroded.

    hope it's not an alternator as mine are slowish in comparison to my old 1.1

    My alternator took ages to die then the electric windows moved slowly & the instrument needles started bouncing.One day it was pushing the correct voltage next it was producing 10 volts & died.

    Grease the area where it slides up and down on the metal rail. Pop the doorcard off and put the window down and you will see a white clip moving up/down, whack some grease up and down the entire metal rail.

    When I converted mine to electric I did this and mine goes up relatively quickly and quietly.
