I'm sure I read that using silicon lubricant helps....as my passenger window is slow and scratchy...but it been that way for 5 years!!

cheers mate , got some silicone spray in the van i surpose i just spray it into the rubber seal around the window .

I guess so - its the channels running vertically in the door and I think the only other thing is to remove the door card to get at the lever mechanism, but I'd be surprised if that was at fault on a younger RAV.

Thats a good idea Bothy, prevention being better than cure... I think I will get some silicone lube and do mine. It can only help the window winder motors if the windows travels easy!
