Thanks Tom C.


That's what I am talking about what we ( in the glass business) used graphite for. The CHANNEL the glass runs up and down in. The shop purchased graphite in large tins that we poured into squeeze bottle applicators.. Any type of grease or lube would gum up the channel making it MORE difficult to operate..

Grease was used in the REGULATORS ( the crank/gear parts) only.. Grease was also used in the metal tube ( I cannot remember the correct name for the part) that the plastic wheels (riveted to the regulator arms) were inserted into that was connected to the bottom of the door/Qtr glass..
The grease does get hard over time making it necessary to clean and regrease when the operation of the window gets hard.

Personally, I would try a newer synthetic grease, like Napa Sil glide, in the regulator parts now...
