Drivers electric window has just started juddering the last 2 inches when going up. The motor works fine driving the window up and down. If it,s the window rubber that,s causing the juddering what is best to sparay on the rubber ?

Vaseline. Worked a treat on the former Office Cavalier.

Doesn't this tend to get on the glass and make smears? Where exactly do you put the Vaseline?

L\'escargot by name, but not by nature.

Be pretty conservative with it and it won't smear the glass. Just work into the window channel around the rubber.

Happened to find in the garage ta can of Lub in an Aerosol, which was marked for hinges, catches, and window recesses. Problem solved, slides up fine. Thanks for the advice.
