![background image](/acura/rdx_awd/l4-2.3l_turbo/Page-1909002.png)
PROBABLE CAUSE
The run channel is damaged or dirty.
REQUIRED MATERIALS
Shin-Etsu Grease: P/N 08798-9013
REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Aftermarket window tinting will also cause the window to move slower and is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. No repair attempts should
be made if the window has aftermarket tinting.
1. Compare the up and down speed of the affected window to another like vehicle:
^
If the speed is the same as the other vehicle, no further troubleshooting is required.
^
If the speed is not the same, remove the door panel and the door glass, then check the window regulator speed.
^
If the speed is the same as it was with the glass in place, replace the window regulator.
^
If the speed is faster without the glass, go to step 2.
NOTE:
When evaluating regulator performance without the glass, never allow the regulator to travel to the full up position because damage can occur
to the regulator.
2. Inspect the visible portion of the run channel for damage.
^
If the run channel is visibly damaged, replace it, then recheck the window speed.
^
If the run channel looks OK, go to step 3.
3. Reinstall the glass into the door without bolting it to the regulator, then manually slide it through its range of travel and check for excessive
resistance:
^
If the resistance is excessive, go to step 4.
^
If the resistance is not excessive, go to step 5.
4. Inspect the run channel alignment, both inside and outside the door. Pay close attention just below the door skin; this is a common area for the run
channel to be pinched.
^
If the run channel is pinched, replace it, then adjust the run channels and the glass as needed.
^
If the run channel is not pinched, go to step 5.
5. Clean the run channel using a soapy water solution, then apply Shin-Etsu grease. You may also need to clean the portion of the run channel within the
door.
6. Reinstall all removed parts.
SYMPTOM 3
During operation, the window squeaks, creaks, clunks, or clicks.
