Weird, I just did this last weekend to my TL, didn't even realize there was a thread for it. Very detailed and straight forward. Keeping your windows clean helps a ton. If there's anything on your windows when you roll them down the felt traps it and it makes it's way into the window tracks.

I used the lithium grease in a spray can, got some on my windows, but it cleans right off.

WD stands for Water Dispersant, That was the original intent for the inventor. it was made for NASA, and the main ingredient is simply Fish oil. the are better product out there for lubing.

Wow, I wish I had done this when I took my door panels apart to put in new speakers!

I found a quicker and easier way to do this and it worked really well! Only thing is you'll need a car wash afterwards! I'll post something later today with pics

Thanks for this thread OP, gonna be lubing up my windows + installing some new front door speakers at the same time.

Was there ever a consensus of Graphite Lubricant Spray VERSUS White Lithium Grease VERSUS Shin-Etsu Silicone Greese?
