I did inspect and clean all these items, and I am considering using gummi pflege on the rubber parts, but I recall that years ago new windshield wipers came with a small tube of lubricant-does anyone have a idea where to source this material or something similar?

It appears that replacing the inner seal would be simple, but the outer seal goes all around the door and would be a big deal to replace.

Suggestion · Original poster

However, in the box with the regulator was a information sheet warning me to inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and/or replace the seals, tracks, and guides in the door before using the regulator, or else it would fail shortly and URO would deny any warranty claim.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Last week I changed one of my window regulators-the job went well and my wife is very pleased that the dropdown function works again. I opted for the URO aftermarket unit-it looks to be well made. However, in the box with the regulator was a information sheet warning me to inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and/or replace the seals, tracks, and guides in the door before using the regulator, or else it would fail shortly and URO would deny any warranty claim. It appears that replacing the inner seal would be simple, but the outer seal goes all around the door and would be a big deal to replace. I did inspect and clean all these items, and I am considering using gummi pflege on the rubber parts, but I recall that years ago new windshield wipers came with a small tube of lubricant-does anyone have a idea where to source this material or something similar? Has anyone had any experience with premature regulator failure? Thanks!
