Window Crank Sticks on Hatch. How to make it roll up smooth?
I have a 94 Civic CX Hatch. My drivers side window cranks has been getting stuck lately. It happens mostly when rolling up the window. I roll it a half turn then i have to force it. Its starting to bug me. How do I fix it? grease or lube, if so where? Has this happend to anyone before? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Silicone lube. Works wonders. Spray it down in all of the tracks (both front and back) generously. I can almost 100% guarantee it'll fix it.

I didn't. Went to my local Advance Auto grabbed a bottle of silicone lube (in the spraycan with the little straw for a nozzle). Went out to the car..sprayed the lube in both tracks with the window up (both inside and outside). Rolled the window up and down a couple times. Shot some more silicone lube down in the tracks while the window was down and it has worked perfectly for close to 6 months.
