Slow roll driver side window

[Robert1380]

Anyone had any issues with any of their windows struggling to roll up?

Noticed yesterday that my drivers window seems to be laboring while rolling back up. Even sounds like the motor is having a hard time pushing it upward. This came in all of a sudden so not sure what the cause it.

Thanks gents.

Spray clear silicone based lube into the window tracks with the window all the way down. Run them up and down a few times.

Thank you sir. Dumb question. What’s involved in getting to the “tracks” does th inner door panel need removed for that?

I'd start with cleaning the channel with a q tip, haven't had the problem in this vehicle, but have in 2 previous ones.

Two tracks, fore and aft of the glass, the silicone spray comes with a long nozzle, stick it in that slot with the windows down and saturate them. Cycle the window a few times. No nozzle no worries, just use more windex when done.

Anything more than that will require removal of the panel.

Gotcha. Thanks man.

Had the same problem on my '25 Lariat, took it to the dealer and they had to replace all the weather stripping on the window. Luckily I have a warranty, if not it would've costed $280 out of pocket.

Edit to add: Every since it was replaced it has been working fine without isssue.

I'd take it to the dealer first. It is a new truck, so the window should work perfectly for multiple years before needing additional lubrication. If it is slow already in your first year, there is something not quite right with it.

Yes. I have a 2025 Flash and have had issues as well. The first time it happened it was semi cold outside (mid 30's). I rolled it down and it wouldn't roll up at all. Then a few minutes later I was able to roll it up but extremely slow. At first I assumed it was due to the cold weather but then it happened a couple more times since and it wasn't cold out. The additional times it happened, it wasn't stuck open it just rolled up very slow.

I'd recommend you take a video when it gives you trouble so the dealer has evidence. It's normal for things to move a bit slower in the cold, but not as slow as you guys are describing. In @Robert1380's case, the symptoms appeared suddenly, so it may be that there is a defect in the window seal that should be fixed.
