Last autumn the rear windows slowly began to require more and more effort to wind them up and down . It became so bad, in fact, that one of my friends actually snapped off the winder trying to get a window up . At that point I just stopped using them until I could figure it out . Which is where I'm at now .

I got a new winder today so I pulled the door apart to see what's going on and I just can't figure it .
Apart from being a bit dirty/dusty ( what is that old paper for anyway ? ) and, in some parts, very slightly rusty; I didn't see any obvious culprit .
I sprayed penetrating oil where I thought it might help and WD40 at other joints hopin' to loosen it up . And it did, but only a little .
I scraped off some of the old grease that had gotten pretty hard . Inspected ( best I could with everything in the door still ) the teeth and gear on the regulator - everything looked fine . ?
It almost seems like there's something pressing against something somewhere and creating too much resistance .

Are there any points of adjustment that I should be checking ?

Is it a coincidence that both of the rear windows started freezing up around the same time or is it probably just because they're used less ( which I suspect is the primary issue ) ?

Do I just need to take it all apart to figure this out ?

Any suggestions appreciated !

I'm gonna go back to diggin' through the archives to see if I can find anything .

Thanks guys - Christopher
