Rear Windows Up and Down SLOOOW

[Fischer]

Anyone have a quick remedie for this. They are just about 2x as slow as the front windows.

 

[94Matt]

got the same problem with my rear windows. and they squeek and shake bad too.

 

[Fischer]

No squealing or shaking here. Just plain Ol Slow. I could swear they are much slower than they were 6 mos. ago. ??

Every Explorer I've ever been in is like that, even a 2001 model. I believe they are designed that way. Possibly to make it easier to get the window open just the right amount when doing it from the driver controls.

 

[Fischer]

Just the rear ones?

 

['96explorereddiebauer]

Yup! My rear windows do the same thing too. No squeaks or shakes, just plain slow. It is the design so I'm not even gonna worry about it.

 

[Fischer]

I must be loosing my mind as I thought they have slowed in the last few months. I guess I never noticed how s-l-o-w they are. Oh well. LOL

 

[03ExplorerSPT]

Yup I've got the same problem plus my passenger side rear window squeaks as it goes up.

Not your imagination

It's not your imagination. I have a '91 XLT and my rear windows also take approx. 8 secs to roll up. When it gets near the top it will barely make it and the lights start to go dim until I let the button go.
When I bought it in '97 they were fine. My friends 2001 is just fine. I have no idea what it is.

No my 2002 is the same way,slow windows, except if u push a button (or more than one) the lights dim , they prolly would use too much power to move any faster i dont know

Really clean both sides of the glass,and see if it makes any difference.

The rear windows might be a bit slower to prevent kids from putting them up too fast and injuring themselves, but I think you mean reeaal slow. I have seen Explorers that have that problem due to crud on the windows.

Try spraying the tracks that the window slides on. I just changed the motor for the rear driver side window. After I got the motor installed, I noticed that the window went up very slowly and had the shakes. I sprayed the tracks with a silicone spray, and it is as good as new.

I agree with Van, LUBRICATE THE TRACKS ON THE SIDES OF THE WINDOW FRAMING. I've had this problem on 2 different Fords and this always helps. Use a silicone lubricant or a good 3 in 1 oil, you'll notice a big difference
