#2357 of 3244 RE: Designs - by harmar2 Dec 08, 2004 (7:50 am)
My retired Ford buddy tells me there are big battles in the design departments, with younger designers agitating for changes (they call it an 'update') in the CV/GM line. He says, also, that new/younger managerial level employees don't know what has been tried in the past (and didn't work), so FoMOCo is (in)famous for trying to reinvent wheels. (As he describes it, these new people are very knowledgeable, but their knowledge is a "mile wide and an inch deep.")   The Detroit News recently ran a piece saying to watch the upcoming auto shows for a new Lincoln design that is heavily influenced by a "European flavor." FoMoCo seems enamored by its Volvo designers' ideas. These 'news' pieces often are wrong, so we'll see.   Whatever happens to Lincoln will eventually rub off on the CV/GM line.

Whatever happens to Lincoln......indeed...... I'm certainly wondering what that may be!!
#2362 of 3244 GM Power Windows by heart2 Dec 19, 2004 (1:29 pm)
Anyone have ideas what is causing problems with driver's window which goes up and down slowly(much more slowly than ever before). This is a '98 GM. I know the door will need to be disassembled...??difficult? Replies to this message: iusecad (Dec 20, 2004 10:12 am)

Replying to: heart2 (Dec 19, 2004 1:29 pm) my '98 Vic just started doing that. I think mine is caused by the cold and would probably benefit from some sort of lube in the tracks...
#2365 of 3244 Slow Power Windows (heart2) by bdeyes333 Dec 20, 2004 (5:25 pm)
iusecad,You are right on with the lube idea, I use a good quality Silicone Spray Lubricant twice per year in each window channel.It streaks the glass for a little while but it's no big deal. Never have a problem with my Chevy's power windows.Stuff is also good to use on all the rubber bits as it keeps them from sticking in cold temperatures.    Hope this helps, BD EYES
#2366 of 3244 Slow Windows by jsylvester Dec 20, 2004 (6:02 pm)
Crown Vics and Grand Marquis have had slower than normal power windows since the 92 redesign - my 94 is the same way. The simple answer is the motor just runs slower than what most other vehicles do.   If it is slower than before, than I would suggest lubing the tracks, but don't expect a miracle.
