Slow windows

How fix.slow windows?

Only grease,or need new pivot clips?
What is best grease for this?

I read that lubrication is not a long term solution because it attracts dirt.
Correct?



Thanks!

Put a little silicon spray on the window rubbers, especially the vertical one

Definitely silicon spray, not WD40 or RP7 or any other cat piddle --- they all eat rubber. And grease gets dirt in it and creates a sanding paste.

Yep agree, silicon spray, do mine fairly regularly

Do I need remove door panel?

Personally I don't, I don't remove my door cards unless I really have too, too easy to damage them, I just drop the window and spray the runner where I can then put the window up and down a few times, others may do it differently, if they are really sticky do it a few times in a week.

That’s the best way, keep spraying as the glass goes up and down. No need to remove any trim.

Should really only have to spray with silicon spray once or twice. It's as if the stuff was designed specifically for car windows.

Quite possibly because you actually use your car regularly Mike. Keeps things moving.
