Looking for advice on making my sliding side windows move easier. I have hear about using Dry Silicone but not sure about that on the old style felt/fuzzy channels.

We used Door-Ease at the Buick dealer. It's the stuff in a stick that you rub on. It'll be a little messy at first but works it's way in and lasts a long time. The dry slide might work well but I've never used it.

I have had really good luck with spray silicone. At least on late models when the windows won't hardly go up and down. Maybe it will help your sliding windows also

Believe it or not - I've had luck with a good old bar of soap if you can get your hand in there... Spray silicone works well too, both options will have you cleaning your window edges for a while - but hopefully they'll get them to move easier for ya!There's always something new to learn.Comment

Some mountain bike shops sell a spray wax that doesn't attract dirt & goo like grease or oil does.
On my '56, I popped off the panels and lubed the daylights out of the mechanism, and it made a WORLD of difference. Now someone teach me how to install window felt please, these things are rattling my eardrums out.Yes, I'm a CarJunkie... How many times would YOU rebuild the same engine before getting a crate motor?

They seemed to be pretty tight against the glass and the power window motors struggled, but it made a world of difference in quieting things down. I should have lubed them up with some of the things that have been mentioned in this thread.Comment
