window problems in cold weather

[greekman]

today it snowed here in denver. depressing. i noticed a problem that i forgot i had. when it is cold outside, and the passenger window is down it has a very hard time going up. never a problem in the summer, but when it gets cold it goes up reeeeeaaaaallllll sssssllllllllooooowwww or it won't even go up. what's the problem? anyway to fix it?

Today the high temp was only 50, and when I was putting up my driver's side window, it CRAWLED. I ended up "assisting" it with one hand while pushing the button. I hope by giving this a new post someone will have an idea. I can't find any info on how to fix this anywhere. Please help. It gets cold with the window down!!!!!

i lubercated the window tracks with clear lubercateing silicone . it seeems to help it alot up here where it gets to -60f in the winter. the drivers side window used to freeze itself to its window stripping (causeing it to rip the rubber off the front window strip).also check the window track adjustments as if they are out then you would have a harder time running the window up and down .

I read in a previous post some months back, that replacing the window motors with aftermarket ones solved the problem - anyone got any views on this.

Stoneage_tech's right, It's a common problem & Nissan used to replace
the window run rubber (under warranty) to cure the problem,
but silicone spray in the rubber will sort the problem out.
