To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, October 23, 2010, 5:12 PM Hey, I know this has been discussed sometime before, but I can't seem to find the answers. My 1988 Spider Quad's power windows are reeeeeeeally slow, especially the passenger side - near 90 seconds to go up! - but they still do work, full-up to full-down. I have yet to tear the doors apart to "examine" the situation and would really, really like some advice before doing anything. I am fairly well mechanically inclined and do the majority of my own work (from electrical to brakes to engines), but haven't torn into any power window systems very deeply. I have no problem dismantling and re-building things, so if there is a "fix" for the window motors or associated mechanicals, I'd love to hear about it! Or, is this only an exercise in futility or a time-wasting trip to insanity, where replacement-with-new-or-known-working-parts is the only viable option? Inquiring minds want to know...
