Hey guys, my windows are really hard to crank up and down. Do you guys know what I should use to lubricate the tracks. I tried lithium grease and WD40. What do you guys use.

 

 

I've had the best luck so far with spray silicon. Don't use white lithium spray, it thickens up and just attracts dirt and will eventually make them worse.

 

Silicone spray. Liquid Wrench makes some good stuff in a yellow and white can.

My understanding is you don't want to use white lithium grease anywhere where it might come in contact with rubber parts.

 

silicon lubricant spray, works fine for me

 

I use shin-etsu grease from Honda, you can pick it up at http://www.handa-accessories.com

The tracks are the "CENTER LOWER CHANNEL" and "FRONT CHANNEL".



I usually just direct the spray (I use a tip to aim without mess) at the top of the tracks, about where these red dots are in this image.

I roll the window down and then spray the silicone spray. Then roll the window up and down a few times, roll the window back up and wipe down any mess.

 

nice explanation and diagrams - about the same with power windows as well?
