This aint a huge problem....but it bothers me soo much. When rolling up/down the front windows. They take there time...make a weird noise...and sometimes I have to pull up on the window to get it to close. I used wd-40...but that only help for a bit. Any suggestions?

I would try lubricating the window track with some white lithium grease.

I second that idea.

Ideally, you would take off the door panel and pull the weather stripping. Once it was off, you could run lithium grease down the entire length of the strip and also lube up the track as well.

Silicone spray is also a good alternative.

The fact that the windows operate slower in one direction versus the other leads me to believe that there may be a motor problem, if the lube doesn't help.

My I30 did this last year...I took it to the dealer and they charged me $15 or so to lubricate the window channels. Problem solved.
