Triumph Repair: windows, silicone spray, tr 6

Question
Hi,
I'm also having problems with the windows on a TR 6 Iv'e just bought. They seem to wind down OK but are so stiff when I try to wind them up I'm afraid I'm going to break off the winder handles! Any ideas?

Answer
Hi Colin,
It could be several problems but first remove the door panel and lube the glass to runner area with a can of clear silicone spray. If that don't help, look at the glass as you try to raise it to see if either the front or the rear of the glass is trying to go up first causing to glass to bind. Also examine the tracks to see if they are worn out and need replacing. If the glass is going up front first or rear first and binding you will need to loosen the bolts holding the assembly and move it which ever direction makes it align better. There is not much free play in the mounts but sometimes just enough to get the window to move up straight.
