Has anyone experienced the front electric windows slowing down as they are raised? They go down fine and start to rise OK. Just past half-way up they slow down to almost a halt and then speed up for the top 4 inches or so. Fitted a new battery as I though that have been the problem.
Any ideas?

Did you manage to cure the problem? Don't want to take it to a garage if I can help it (cost!) Did they just stay slow or grind to a complete halt?

Try silicon spray on the runners.

She sold the car for that and other reasons and because fiat dealers are pretty much the worst in the world

I've took the door panels off and had a look. Everything still looks well greased and I sprayed WD40 about. No improvement.
Strange that its happened to both windows at the same time. They both were OK a couple of months ago.
Might give the Fiat dealer a ring and see if he has any sensible comments.
