Help winter day in the field
 
i am at school and its freakin cold out there.

gave a friend a lift this morning and they openened my window and now it will not close :)

now the motors were weak and i hadn't gotten in to them to check them over or lubericate them, but now it looks i have to :)

is there a quick fix you all can suggest to a newbie that is outside in teh cold and a long way from a warm indoor garage? :)

Get someone to operate it while you manually "assist" it with your hands. Be careful, dont break anything, and dont let anyone lower it till its lubed.

figured i'd need to do that.

tried doing it on my own but it seemed really stuck.

would suck if i have to take the door apart :)

where is that thread talking about what lube to use etc?

I read that thread, since mine are gonna need it as well. It said to spray White Lithium Grease. I'm putting mine off, since I know that plastic door panel clips are gonna be brittle from the cold & will be more likely to break.
