The last step is – Clean the window glass. Rolling up and down the window helps disperse the lube, repeat the lubing and window action a couple of times as needed. Repeat the lube process on all door windows.Apply a coat of silicone spray to the window track each side of the window, not the top.The window seal lube process is as follows: You’ll find a link to silicone spray here on the “Mechanics consumables page”. Petroleum-based grease will cause the rubber to swell, not what we want. It’s important to use silicone grease, it’s rubber friendly. You won’t need a ton of tools to nail this procedure either. This is a simple job and will make a huge difference to window performance. Window goes up, sticks and comes back downĪll of the above can be fixed with just a little silicone lube in the correct places, and that’s exactly what we’ll get up to next.The symptoms of a worn or dry window track seal vary by the time of year, model, how worn the seal is, how good the car battery is. Next, we’ll look at some of the symptoms before getting down to the business end of solving the problem. To be fair to sticking windows, they usually give us a ton of advance notice (slower window action) before actually sticking. And when the friction outguns the window motor, the window sticks. When the felt coating wears off, it allows the glass makes contact with the rubber beneath. Weather, road grit, and lack of maintenance all help speed up the process. The seal is engineered for the job, it incorporates a fine felt coating which reduces surface contact with the glass, thereby reducing friction. A pretty simple but important component then. It protects the cabin from the elements, wind noise, prevents irritating glass rattles, and serves to protect the glass itself. The rubber covering, known simply as the seal, is important. Your window runs up and down on a rubber-clad metal track, also known as a runner.
