I'd replace that flex hose with the correct u-tube intake.

I also see white paint splatters on the headlight covers.

Thanks..

What is the flex hose ? / U-tube intake?

There are a few spots of a white house paint drips on the front end. I will get to those asap. Actually the ones on the headlights can stay as I have 2 w123 sets of Euro lights coming over from Europe in about a week or so.

There was also several drips of some glue around the car that I already removed carefully with some acetone....

Its the tube that connects the air filter housing with the turbo. Somebody replaced the stock tube with a cheap-o flex tube. Looks like its taped in place.

Compare yours with what it should look like.

huh... Got it . Good eyes. It is on the list.

Now do you have any ideas what may be possible issues on the slow windows?

Slow windows can be:

Weak motors (as they age they get moisture in them/corrode/move slower)
Lack of Lube on the Regulator - lube the regulator gears and slides
Excessive friction on window seal - lube the seal the glass slides between with graphite
Low voltage in car? - Probably not the cause, but check the car's voltage when running....if its not charging right you may not be getting much juice to the windows.

It may be shadows but the radiator hose appears to be collapsed and should be investigated. Also is your hood rubbing the left front fender? If so, it may need an adjustment. Plus, you need to find and replace the missing thumbolt on the fuse box cover...it may be loose in the engine compartment somewhere, ya never know.

Oh! I meant to ask what is the correct lubricant for the regulator, window channels (graphite, not silicone?), and the lift mechanism gears?
