Something small has been bugging me for about two weeks, and I wanted to see if anyone else noticed the same thing. My Range Rover Velar is three years old, and the driver window has started to go up very slowly, almost like it is tired. Sometimes it stops halfway and I have to press the button again. The sunroof does something similar, because it opens fine but closes with a little shaky movement and a soft grinding sound that I never heard before. My wife thinks it is just dust and says I should wipe the rubber with a damp cloth and stop worrying. My friend at the gym said it could be the motor getting weak, and that these parts do not last forever in very hot weather. Then my cousin told me to spray some oil on the tracks, but that sounded like a bad idea to me, because I once read that the wrong spray can attract more dust and make things worse. So I did not touch anything. A few nights ago I was reading some old posts, and one man wrote that a good Range Rover Repair garage will usually clean and grease the tracks with the right product first, and only change the motor if cleaning does not help. That sounded cheaper and more sensible than what I feared. Still, I have a few questions. Is it normal for windows to slow down at this age, or is it too early? Could a weak battery make the motors move slowly, since I have had a few slow starts lately too? Also, how often should the sunroof drain pipes be cleaned? I heard blocked drains can leak water into the cabin, and I do not want wet carpets check here https://range-rover-repair.ae. Is it safe to close the sunroof by hand if it gets stuck, or can that break something? And if the window motor needs replacing, is the part very expensive, or is the labor the bigger cost? If you had the same problem, what was the cause, and did the fix last? Easy words are best for me. Thanks for reading.
