Guest samster1 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Here we go again...now the windows on my 46 continental go down at a snails pace (all three buttons) and up at there normal speed..do I need new hydraulics? Im making Boos Herrel a Fortune 500 company... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peecher Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 From what you describe, The only things affecting the window lowering speed would be windows binding in their guides, weak lift assembly springs or high viscousity fluid in the hydraulic system. The pump only works when raising the windows. ATF in the system will slow down the lowering speed when it's cold especially here in the NW.

Guest samster1 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hey Peecher you are always there in a pinch..I do appreciate your help..the strange thing is they both went at the same time...never had a problem until monday morning..both windows did the same thing at the same time...only thing I did sunday was do a quick car wash of the lower half of the car with the roof and windows down and I do know some water got into both doors through the window slot...I can't imagine springs or any fluid issues would go down at the same time and its like 100 degrees down here everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peecher Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I guess there's another possibility. As both windows are slow the common component might be the feed hose from the pump to the dash fitting? If it collapsed there would be restriction to low pressure flow.

v12lincoln Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Peecher is a welth of information on these old Lincolns. I would put my money on the feed hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
