Windows that are slow and sticky

As a result of problems, I haven't been able to get behind the wheel of my 1997 C140 CL600 for a while.

I turned it on in the garage earlier and immediately saw that the windows are stuck and take an extremely long time to rise. Like my trimmer, they seem to have their own battery life and are about to die.


Is anyone aware of the reason for the automobiles' slowness? They've been on trickle all winter.

Have you thought about using gummi paste on the window rubbers?

Give it a go. Plus, the driver's side window no longer lines up with the back window. When both are raised, there is a space. Curiously, it deviates from its intended position and is quite slack.

To prepare the rubbers, wash them thoroughly. Then, using a lint-free cloth, apply spray. Go up and down many times, and repeat the spray-on-to-cloth routine as needed.
