    Heh. Wonder how amny Mac users have ignored this.

    Right...this isn't really a MINI querie but I know all you nice people will help my mate out anyway.

    He has leccy windows on his motor, which is a few years old, but they are running really slow and don't always close properly. I suggested that it was probably the rubber seal had perished and wasn't flexing enough to allow the window to move freely but I thought I'd ask you experts if you have any ideas on the prob/possible fixes.

    Sounds possible Big C - or the window has got out of position and is not running in the correct track - or the motor's buggered!

    I think it's an L plate so it's prob about a '93. It's both of the windows Wul so I don't think they'd both be out of position but you never know I guess. I'll tell him to take a look at the motors/moving parts and see if they're smoking and in need of lube. [oo er missus]. Thanks guys.
