Lubricating power windows?
I just noticed that my power windows are moving a little slower than they used to. Is there a way to lubricate the window tracks without removing all the door panels?

Smear some silglyde into the rubber window run, silicone brake grease will not destroy rubber seals.

Usually the regulator isn't a problem, except with the tailgate glass on early 4Runners.

I have a can of silicone spray that I use for things like this. Works great on any rubber parts...especially when sliding on rubber hoses.

Is "Silglyde" a product name.. or just slang? I have sticky windows as well.

Silglyde is usually on the counter at NAPA, etc. It comes in a squeeze-tube, and its silicone grease. Every grease-drawer should have some.
