I'm having lots of issues with the Front Driver side window.
- slow
- stuck when cold or rain
- clicking noise when window at the bottom going up
Below are the links that I read and below will be pics of what I did.
My findings:
(1)
o Took window motor apart and cleaned (small issue - check pics)
o cleaned the tracks and re greased
- Still slow and needs assistance to go up until 1/4 up then it's smooth up
- going down a bit jerky
(2)
o Took out "Glass Run"
- very noticeble jerky going up withut glass run
Notice the it slides up funny/jerky so my guess is the Glass Run is not the issue (from posts below)
(3)
o cleaned driver side window module (bost below)
- Better power but motor still seems weak
Any suggestions?
For the window motor - Any other motors I could use?
- I found 1 post regarding a 4runner window motor but no more info.
In the end I think I will be replacing the "window channel" (I think this would be scissor like arm) and I think the motor is dying and the weather stripping Pretty much the whole Window Assembly minus the tracks.

And I see no other refference to rubber tracks --> I see nylon bearings. So was OEM rubber before?It's usually the rubber tracks wearing out that causes slow windows, not the motors. Lube them for temporary relief; replace them for a permanent fix.
Search a bit and you'll see this has come up often. There's a replacement write-up in one of the threads, and maybe even in the FAQ."
