i got bored and decided to time my power windows, they both go the same speed which came to 4.43 seconds to go up. If anyone else is bored, go time em and post results, even manual window people, lets see how quick you are.

 

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHA......OMG.....and I thought I was bored.....jeez....hmmm...mine are power and the driver's side is quicker...takes about 8 seconds to go up...the pass. side takes about 14....

 

I will time them tomorrow when i go to work, but i know for a fact that my passengers side is much faster because i swapped the motor in it a few months ago. I am just happy that both windows go up and down without any hesitation and or stops in the middle of working.

 

the windows will rollup/rolldown noticeably faster when the engine is running then when it is not.

when the engine is not running, the alternator is not charging. window motor speed is very dependent on battery voltage.

 

So the windows might move faster if you give it a little gas...

 

From full up position, then totally down and full up again.

Drivers side 12 seconds
Passengers side 9 seconds

 

just be glad yours rolls down, it sucks havin t tops and a drivers side window that won't roll down. that'll change after monday:lala:

 

3 secs passanger side, 5 secs drivers side up and down

 

So on a good run you have a 9 second car....

 

yeah i guess i do, lol; i wish i had pennylessz28's windows :hail:

 

With engine off:

Driver's side (brand new motor): 4 seconds
Passanger side (original 1991 motor): 6 seconds

Not too shabby... I'm happy they work though. lol

 

Maybe i did not count right
I am alittle slow, lol

 

Passenger side 10.5 seconds
Drivers side 8.0

Guess it's about time for new motors.....

 

I guess i should of lubricated the tracks, so they move up and down better.

O well like i said before, i am just happy they both work now!

I think pennylessz28 has some fast a$$ windows!

 

drivers side, 9 minutes, passenger side, 12 minutes.

 

5 and 4 seconds!

 

4.25 seconds drivers side, 6.5 seconds passenger

why is everyones passenger window slower then the drivers??
maybe its all those people sitting in the passenger seat playing around with it...

 

5 seconds driver
4 seconds passenger

 

drivers side 6(i got it fixed, yayyy it was just off track) and passengers 7

 

.

 

again, i seem to be the oddball, cuase my Pass isfaster than my Drivers

 

Just timed my windows today.

Drivers side - 4 sec up, 4 sec down. < New window motor

Passenger side - 4 1/2 up, 5 sec down.

 

Well I primitively timed my windows the other day (One... pause... two... pause...) and both take four to five seconds up and around the same down. And here I thought mine were slow...

My Jimmy takes about three seconds a trip. I figured the 'bird was slow since my father's late 90s LSS (Or is it LHS? Whichever one is the GM one...) windows take like two seconds max. You could cut bread with those babies... lol

 

It's amazing how so many people respond to such a weird topic such as this one but not to other where people need help or questions answered.
driverside:6 seconds
passengerside:4.5
:lala:

 

Has anyone tried like pre run "burnouts" . Mabye go up and down real fast and then do it....

 

LOL, I went outside to my car just to time them. The GTA: 4 seconds on both sides. The camaro: oh wait, no engine, no battery... no times. But I know the passenger side beats the drivers side by at least a second on that one.
Has anyone read Vader's article on power windows? It tells all about greasing the tracks, and also mentions some little carbon brushes (around where the harness plugs in) that could cause slow moving power windows. Too bad, I think you have to take the motor out to get to them. But I'd do anything to have the windows go up a little faster, 4 seconds seems like forever compared to newer cars where the windows just zip up in like 1.5 seconds.

 

Got so fired up from reading all these posts that I went out over the weekend and bought some spray white lithium grease and ripped my doors apart and prayed them up really 'white'. I THINK I gained a full second on my times by doing this. Noticed I do still have the original factory motors as they are riveted in.

 

Car on at idle
Pass window: 3.92 seconds going down
Drivers window: 3.66 seconds going down
A little longer for both to go up, but no longer than 4.5 seconds.

 

i fell a sleep timing mine! lol

 

Manual windows are faster

1.3 seconds up and down on drivers side (gotta be fast to get a better look at the honey that just drove by)

3 seconds up and down on pasengers side (give me a break, I was leaning over the console cuz lord knows im never in the passenger seat )

Mabye if I go do some window roll up excersises, I could set a record lol

Oh ya, no change when the motor is running , I must not get much power from the alt...although they do go down faster when my stereo is thumpin good

 

HAHA, OH man I was CRACKIN up when I read that! Yea, anything to do with a chic will make you do the impossible! LOL

Side note, I saw this black Navigator last night with a license plate "GORGIUS" and whaddya know.... SHE WAS!

 

I dunno, having to lean over and crank down the window by hand just doesn't scream "chick magnet" to me.

But hey, you take what you can get.

 

Automatic windows.
From all the way down, to up, holding both buttons down at the same time (slows them down quite a bit).

Driver side: 4.8 seconds
Passenger: 8.5 seconds

As for rolling windows up and down not being a chick magnet, when my friend and I pull up in his '75 stingray, and roll the windows down, with the t-tops off, we get our attention.

if you think that was the manual windows, lets swap cars, you can put those manual windows on my ride and i'll put my automatic windows on the Stingray. Sounds GREAT to me

 

I'm not worried in being a magnet, I've got a great girlfriend that I would never cheat on or anything like that. But hey, that doesn't mean I can't look.....

 

5 seconds drivers side

6.5 seconds passenger

btw drivers side window has type-r sticker on it, adds 30hp

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

kidcamarosc, does that mean my drivers side window will get a full second faster if I add a "Fear This" or "Powered By Chevy" sticker?

 

heh

driver side 7 sec
pass side well i aint got no window cuzz some damn street punks smashed it so i guess it is pretty damn fast and invisable heh

 

Heh I remember this post.

My drivers side window no longer goes up. Doh.

I knocked it outta whack autocrossing I think. Gotta figure out how to re-attatch it to the arm thingy.

 

Man I'm cant belive this stuff!!!:sillylol: :sillylol: :sillylol:

 

anyone done this & sped up your windows? https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/t...rwindows.shtml

 

Give me cancer now g@d, i love this topic, i didn't think anyone would ever do this. I dont even want to time my ****. The worst is when you see sprinkler systems pointed toward the road, and your like and you try and roll your windows up, and they just dont "move like they used to" haha ok i'm done

 

I know where you're coming from.

I think I'm just gonna put NAWZ on my windows, instead of lithium grease. That should do the trick.

 

You know those little D rocket motors? I got my times down to half a second... bad thing is though, the window shattered

 

no you know what really sucks is having windows that go down and t-tops that leak and when it rains for a long time the water puddles and then when you take off it drips down on your arm if you have the window down and if it's warm water it really feels nasty!

 

Drivers side 5 sec.

Pass side 0.0 sec.

I was able to optimize my passanger side window with the tweak by busting the window for optimum speed.



j/k

 

What would it cost me to get some power windows installed in my car? Manual if faster, but power is so much cooler .

 

best time: 7.8 driver
8.2 passenger

mods: rotted out weather strip
started after a good rain
moved the button back and forth acouple times to warm
the window motor before the final run.
cleaned the windows with windex (not the generic stuff)
for a smoother rolling surface, laugh all you want it'll
shave off at least .2 seconds.

 

We have a mazda that has fast windows, I think they go up and down in 2 sec's I should time them later lol.
