Slow Windows
I know I saw a thread about this a very long time ago but with an unsuccessful yahoo search I'm hoping someone can help. A couple of my windows are getting very slow and I think someone had mentioned a dry lube product that they used in the window tracks. This seemed to help. Anyone remember what it was??
do 3 things:
1. use lithium grease to grease the tracks
2. use carburetor cleaner or other evaporative solvent to clean the insides of the weatherstripping on the doorsill where it rubs against the glass
3. use silicone on the outside of all the rubber weatherstripping, so the rubber keeps its malleability.

but I take no responsibility if they affect yours!!The silicone is just in the tracks, so it's not really hitting the tint.

RED - Run a wet rag in the window track then spray whole thing with silicon spray.
BLUE - Wipe inside both rubber pieces with wet rag.

the phrase 'flame people' has homosexual connotations to me. Like, he flames a guy...then that guy shows up to a maxima meet wearing black leather short shorts.
and everyone turns to their friend and says 'oh yea, he got flamed last week'
