Re: [Chrysler300] power windows 63 model 2 dr Sport

Hi Larry;
First of all, that spring is very dangerous!  It will violently spring the window arm around if you just pull the motor off. make sure you gave a safety bolt thru a hold in the framework to catch the arm from flying and then takle a big pair of vice grips and clamp the arm to the frame. A dent in my forehead attests to this!

So, the spring makes the whole weight of the glass neutral. that is, same effort up or down. Takes out the work of lifting the heavy glass up.
As to the rest, with all the lubing, have you siliconed the tracks? With the glass unattached, can you push it up and pull it down with ease in it's tracks?
Try putting the window down, then using a can of silicone with the wand on it, spray the felt tracks with lots of silicone. This should help if not fix the problem.
If it doesn't, then you probably have something in the mechanism that is binding. 

Let us know, Ray

The driver power window lowers wonderfully but will not raise without an upward pull with fingers. Took all the mechanism out, greased, oiled, smoothed, sweettalked all parts and reassembled. Still the same situation. The motor is full on in both directions, yet it free wheels towards up. Is there a clutch inside the transmission? All parts of the OEM installation are there, intact and correctly attached. The motor turns both directions with the same amount of sound and speed but not much happens on the ascent without help. After the first several inches of human lift, the window moves of its own free will and accord.
What does that coiled spring contribute? It has no tension until it is wound up. Is it to help raise the glass or lower it?
