instead of makin 3 threads, i decided to put my 3 recent questions into one thread.

one.
my wiper seem to be chugging and struggling when they are on. i can see them slow down sometimes too, and sometimes, rarely though...the wipers will just stop working and being on for a while. i suspect the wiper motor being old and weak...am i right?

two.
my windshield washer sprayers don't spray, they piss....now the fluid doesnt even make it to the windshield. i want these things to be misty like they're supposed to be. i took the nozzles off and it still seemed like low pressure comming out of the tube. whats wrong? not enough pressure in the system?

three.
my automatic windows go up really slow sometimes..im thinkin maybe its cuz they're not lubed or something along those lines because sometimes you can hear the sound of the dry window comming down or up. do i just squirt some wd-40 down where the window goes? what do i do?

thanks for any help.

wipers...could be a bad ground (seen it a few times), which does not allow enough current to flow.

washers...have a friend turn them on while you use a neddle to put into the little holes which can help clean them out. When the hose is not hooked to the nozzles, there is not a lot of pressure.

window....Pull the door panel, and clean everything with brake spray cleaner and a stiff paint brush (cut the bristles down to 3/4"), then use some synthetic brake caliper grease (parts store, toothpaste tube size) to lube the rollers and tracks. Then spray some Prestone silicone (walmart) lube into the tracks where the glass edges run in.
