Why is the driver-side power window of my Suzuki Swift moving slowly o r getting stuck?

I have a 2022 Suzuki Swift in Pakistan, and the driver-side power window has started moving very slowly and sometimes gets stuck halfway. It seems worse during hot days. Is this a common issue with Swift models here? Could it be due to a weak window motor, dirty window tracks, o r electrical issues?

A slow o r stuck power window in the Suzuki Swift, especially the driver-side window, is a fairly common issue in Pakistan due to several local factors including heat, dust, and general wear and tear. Here are the possible causes and solutions:

Common Causes:
Dry o r Dirty Window Channels:
Dust and debris build-up in the rubber channels around the window can increase friction. In Pakistan’s climate, this is especially common. Try cleaning the channels with a soft brush and applying a silicone-based lubricant to reduce resistance.

Weak Window Motor:
Over time, the power window motor may lose efficiency due to frequent use. If the motor is aging, it might not generate enough power to lift the window smoothly.

Weak Battery o r Voltage :
If your car’s battery is weak o r undercharging, especially with other electronics on like AC o r lights, power windows may operate slowly.

Worn-Out Regulator o r Mechanical Components:
The window regulator, which controls the windows movement, can wear out o r get misaligned. This can cause jerky o r stuck movement.

Solutions:
Clean and lubricate the window tracks.

Get the window motor tested if weak, replacement may be necessary.

Check battery health and alternator output.

Have a mechanic inspect the window regulator for wear o r misalignment.

Pro Tip: Regular maintenance of window channels cleaning and lubricating can prevent this issue from recurring.
