Hi
My 1997 x300 drivers window gets to the top and jumps (for want of a better term). Clicking noises and the window stops a few millimetres from the top now.
I took the door panel off but couldn't see anything obvious.
Any help please ?
Thanks

 

Memory, HA.

The window motors have an override clutch, so little fingers do not get cut off by the rising window.

The glass "jamming" in the runners will also cause an overload, so drop the window, spray a liberal amount of Silicone Spray on the vertical runners, then bring the window up, then down again, some more spray, etc, and you may just be lucky and sort it.

Those vertical runners do get rather gungy with road grime etc. Just did the Silver S, and now all sweet and silent and SMOOTH. Black beast later today.

 

Is there a recommended (or conversely NOT recommended) lubricant to use in the rubber channels?

I'd hate to gum something up in trying to fix this sometime.

Al,

I have ONLY ever used Silicone Spray in P/pack cans. I also only purchase thw Valvoline, or CRC brands, as I dont trust the "ElCheapo" stuff for this task.
