had a read up on both, my windowws arnt going up skewif, they look fine and work perfectly when oiled but wen the rain washes it out they go back to the same problem again,

I havent had this problem but from what i know of this problem that you wouldnt notice nessesarily realise it going up skew?

Could be a faulty motor?

im sure someone with a bit of knowledge will be along shortly

(Tony, I wrote this in your other identical thread, trust me) - The best spray to use has got to be silicone grease (Halfords about £5). Might be worth cleaning the channels out first though, try wrapping a wet cloth around something blunt and running it through a few times.
