I am new so please forgive me if I posted improperly.

Two issues.

1. Power Windows.All four power windows operate very slowly on my 1997 - J30. The car has only 36,000 miles and is in very good condition. Can the window mechanisms be lubricated to close faster and more smoothly or is it an electrical issue?

2. Replacing Weatherstrip around moon-roof.I need to replace the weather striping around the moon roof before it starts raining. The dealer wants $130 for the kit. Is this something I can do myself and is their an alternate less expensive place to purchase the replacement kit? I had the dealer replace it about 3 years ago, cost over $225.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If all 4 are slow I would look at the battery output.And with the sunroof , is the seal bad or maybe the drains plugged up ??There is a drain hole on the front corner on both sides that tend to clog up.Run some weed wacker line down both to make sure you don't have blockage.I live in pecan tree country and mine were sapped up last year.

slow operation of power windows could be on or a combination of bad battery and alternator. Get yourself a 12 volt multimeter and test the charging system.
