Default slow window operation fix

I used a few q-tips to clean the widow tracks as best as I could and then sprayed a ton of silicone lubricant into them...cycled all four windows a few times and *tada* the windows are running alot smoother...

has anyone used anything similar for comparison?

I haven't had this problem with my Audi, however I had two Acura Legends and sluggish windows were common. Just spray the window channels with silicon lubricant and they work fine again.

Nope...the tracks are the channel looking things on either side of the windows...clean out dirt and/or gunk with a q-tip and then spray silicone lubricant into the channels

The Wurth Teflon spray works good
