Hi All,
Here's an idea to prevent horrible problems with the lecky windows in the future.
As part of your beloved Commodore's regular maintenance try squirting a little Armoral into the window track. Open the window half way and slowly squirt Armoral into the groove that the window runs up and down in. Have a cloth handy to clean up any spillage.
Operate the window (with the engine running to prevent battery drain) and you should notice a difference within a day or two. Armoral lubricates and softens vinyl and rubber surfaces reducing friction on window winder motors. Worked well on my VL Calais that had sat for ages prior to purchase.
I have to repace Passenger and both rear door motors as a result of motor burn out. Common problem.
I'll post an easy to follow guide on how to do this soon. (Rear doors are cabled and not looking forward to that!)
Cheers.
Pete
