Proton window not going up straight. Hang.

[ambayah]

Whats the problem? Put WD40 on side rubber also acting the same way. Just modified to motorized/electronic contrroled window. THought it would go away, suddenly back.

Need advice from you sifus.

Btw, its a Satria.

 

[jombiee]

use 3m rubber silicone spray instead of wd40 bro, wd40 usually good for metal to metal.

Thanks bro for the advice, so is lubrication the solution for this?

 

[jombiee]

i mean its good for ur side rubber, its not the whole solution I guess, but u can try it first, mebbe it got stuck somewhere between the rubber while it goes up, rectify the place & check taht certain area, u need to greasing to the moving mechanical stuff too.

 

[huakenny]

my fren oso juz changed the motor..

1st the mech tot the motor is weak.so he cahgne the 2nd unit of motor...but the result stil the same...

so he took out the rubber n wash it....dry ans put some lubricant...but wd-40 only la....and now work fine....

maybe u can take out the ruber n wash

my 2 cents...

Sounds like a solution to me, no other reason why it would hang like crazy. :D

My 15yr old Daihatsu never hang!!!

my uncle has a 19 year old honda accord..all windows still work ....

 

[sakuraguy]

dey macha ... open ure door cover check and replace the cable , my wira i changed 2 time oledi ... he he ;)

bro, the most likely culprit is the rubber. so u need to apply the lubrication on monthly basis ( worst case) dun use WD40 la.. WD stands for Water Displacement.. it wont works on rubber, glass etc.. look for silicon lubrication as bro suggested. No point keep looking at motor/mechanical issue if u already replace it. If u think its rather extreme for monthly application. do check BMW website.. someone suggested theyu did it on weekly basis.. Yes BMW also have windows problem..

 

[bridgestoneRE711]

WD40 will cause the rubber to expand . not good for rubber .
dig out RM10.90 and buy silicon spray by waxco .

 

[Mikhai]

Better go to change the power window motor la. Mine already changed just after 1 year.... (RM55)

 

[InitialD]

It could be the railings of the power window worn out or misaligned.

Also u can get from Carrefour this whitish looking liquid which is for lubrication the rubbers at the side of the windows so that the power windows slide up and down smoothly.

 

[praetorian]

bro,
u never wonder y some people open door at toll gate?
had to change my whole window drive assy.
motor, railing, cos some plastic bracket broke, before that, the same like you, use the waxco, then ok.
many friends driving satria, wira got same prob

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

mayb some screw got loose inside... try take out the side panel and see if the window not in place...

 

[Freedom_Blue]

My iswara have the same prob to.Put dos silicon spray also cannot.Open the door cover and check,found out that the x rail that gets ur window up and down already reach its age.the window 10s to move left&right.There is a screw to adjust at the right side of the door connected to the rails.Try to adjust that first for temp use.its advised to change the tingiii.

all opinions are right and so truee..

the conclusion is, never buy wira.... ha ha ha..

actually, proton inherited this problem from mitsubishi. u see, mitsubishi didnt have good knowledge on making power windows in the 80s and early 90s. it was evident in lancer, galant sigma and maybe super touring as well as tredia. proton suffered from pwr window problem designed by mitsubishi. too bad.

in my knowlegde, toyotas, hondas and nissan cars have good power window design and lasting for years.

but it all depends on usage. not all wiras are problematic.

but mine is. :lol:

 

[reddice]

mine also hang..also a satria..
what i do is just push the windows a bit backward while i close it..

this "remeh-temeh" problem arr..aiya..pening la...

 

[ambayah]

I also have to do like that, have to push it to the left, then possible. Embarassing + annoying la.

I asked friends with satria also the same problem. Going to try the suggestions by the fellow friends ^^

Proton power window is a known problem where all the owners will definately faced. Kinda like a package, own a proton than sure u have the problem. Probably if u get the non-power window than different issue. I'm driving a wira myself and i have changed my power window for my 4 doors. I have purchased more than 10 set of power windows for my 4 doorfrom new and from kereta potong shop in the past 3 years. Most of the time is the cable snapped, or same problem as you mentioned. I heard so many tips from ppl saying that shouldn't open the window half, shouldn't play with the power window like pressing the closed window when the windows is already closed (itcy finger ppl loves to play with the button). IMHO, All also crap wan ar......i drive alone most time and hardly use the power window also it will spoil ar. Don't tell me it's spoilled coz i don't use it ar...muaahahaha......
my 2cent, it's a bloody stupid problem that seems NOT to have a permanent solution but an alternative, which is to change car! :tongue:
