'09 Ranger, I bought it new at the end of December.
The electric windows "chatter" going up and down. Intermittent, but very frequent. I'm not sure if they've done it right along or not, as I wasn't opening the windows too often in January, but I believe they have.
At the last service, they "verified slight chatter. cleaned glass and lubricated window runs. retest ok." I believe the guy said he used white lithium to lube them, but I'm not positive. Whatever it was stunk the truck up and gave me a splitting headache driving home, but the smell was gone two days later.
Seemed OK for a few days, but today the driver's window was chattering worse than before. Bad enough I "canceled" the auto-down because it seemed like it might be damaging something. I noticed that it usually starts when the window is about 6" down, and that if I stop the window there, there is a LOT (3/8" maybe?) of play in the glass, but my '97 has the same play, so I guess it's normal (?). That truck has crank windows, and they behave perfectly normally.
Is this normal behavior for these damned fancy push button windows? A lubrication issue? Or is there an adjustment somewhere?
