Lubricating window channel

[Kibokojoe]

Is there anything I can apply to the window channels to lubricate the window as it slides up and down the track?

I just spent all afternoon sorting her car out with a sticking window. I used silicon polish and it works great. It isnt a BM but the principle is the same. I took the door card out and removed the windows runners to clean and polish them. You might not want to go that far:D

Thanks

I will give it a go

if you can get the door card off lubing the regulator helped my window the most. + no more grease on my elbow!

Before you are too grateful just make sure your guides are rubber. I just went out to mine and one side is rubber and the other looks like felt. Silicon is great for rubber but I'm not too sure about the felt:(

Pulled the door panel off and the window tracks. Pulled the rubber/felt out of the tracks and cleaned them throughly. Then coated them with Mequir's liquid polish. Also cleaned all of the rubber around the windows and polished them out too. Window now slides up and down nicely. Still pops just slightly at the end before the window seats. I think the window trim at the base of the window is too tight. When the window trim at the base is off the window seats like a dream. When the base trim is installed it pops. Oh well it is 99% better than it was

Used silicone. Before that I cleaned the tracks with brake cleaner :)
then applied silicone spray.
The regulator gear I sprayed with Holts grease for motorbike chains, sticks and does not drop.

BTW: I also used brake cleaner for the holder (bracket) on the A-pillar where the belts slides thru. Cleaned all the dirt out, then pulled the belt out completely and then applied silicone spray. Works like a charm, no more sticky and rolls back easy. :D

Very good. I will need to find some silicone spray

Try the furniture polish shelf at the supermarket. I actually used Turtle Wax cockpit shine somebody got me. Came in one of those plastic bottles with the trigger handle
