Drivers side window struggling to close

[Kev737]

Hi all, I’m after a bit of advice. I have the XF model 2010 and everything has been great until we had that nice weather last weekend. I put the window down for a bit and when trying to close it it went up a few inches started to struggle and then came straight back down. After an hour battling with it I eventually got it closed by inching the window up in small movements. Sometimes the button wouldn’t even respond and I had to wait 5 mins or so until it worked again. I tried it today after all this rain we’ve had and it goes up perfectly again. I’m thinking the rain has somehow helped???? Any ideas anyone. Thanks.

The rain is effectively a temporary lubricant. Try cleaning and lubricating the channels.

I'll give that ago, thanks for the advice. Is there anything I could use to put in the channels to prevent this.

I am not sure what would be best. Basically a light wax, such as you would use on a chest of drawers.

Certainly not anything oily or sticky, because dirt sticks to that, and while it would help in the short term it could make it worse long term.

Cheers Leo, i'll give that a try.
