Window wont go back up on its own
So I got a new to me xj. Window safety switch went out and I just jumped the wire to fix that... But my driver side window works fine except it doesn't go back up. It works if I pull it back (grab the front part of the window and pull it towards the rear of the jeep). Basically it seems like the window leans forward as it goes down. Just want to know what I'm doing before I pull the door trim off.
It's a 98 xj sport...or se... Idk. It's an xj haha.

Start with a silicone based spray. Pb blaster makes one. Spray both channels and generally spray the heck outta everything. Taking the door skin off is cake. Watch a your tube video. Use putty knives.
Spray the center channel too. Make SURE it's silicone based. I used wd40 about 50 times. Silicone leaves a slick film. Hope that fixes it. If not, issues are larger. Generally tho, lube will do it for a bit.
