windows sticking in cold weather
Having the XLT package I have power windows. Every cold morning, say below 15 degrees F both windows will not go down. Is the problem the motors or are the windows stuck against the fabric in the window tracks? Would spray silicone help?
I am not sure, but I have the XLT also with the power windows that I bought in August, I am studying abroad though this semester and it did not snow/get cold enough while was home to freeze the windows, so I never got a chance to find out if they stick like you say. I guess I will find out next winter. Just never wash your car when it is really terribly cold, because a guy I know did it and it got cold overnight and froze his doors shut, he had to wake me up b/c he had to go to work and I had to drive him. It was not fun, and I suggest you never make that mistake. Sorry that I cannot help, but just my two cents.
I have experienced the same problem since we have had a few days in the single digits. I just wait until the interior is warm before I attempt to roll down the windows. What you could try is using a small amount of Vaseline in the area that the glass "parks" in. It may be a bit messy, but it'll keep the window from being dislodged from it's track. Good luck!!

2: To be able to see when there's snow/ice/fog on the window
3: F-150 owners are real men and don't give a rats a** how cold it is outside

P.S. He said below 15, not 15 below.
