Electric windows and WD40

[marki]

....don't go well together. Had to get mine fixed recently and the bloke told me that it's a big no-no to squirt WD40 down your tracks - gums them up and attracts dust apparently....

I'm going to pull the door trims off, clean 'em as best I can and use powdered graphite - the wonder lubricant.....

Aerosol Silicon Lube works well too. Make sure to clean out any dust and dirt, and also lube up the regulator with some grease as well.

Yeah it's the silicon spray you need, not the WD, very different things (a lot easier to find than powdered graphite too)

I used to repair and service industrial roller shutters and we just used Inox in an aerosol can to lube the guides and the felt ribbons on the shutters once they were cleaned out.
Didnt dry out too quick and doesnt attract dust and grit.
Silicon spray might work too.

I been using graphite powder for years on the cars I service

Silicone spray is the way to go. My windows used to be really stiff and slow when putting up. I was told to use silicone spray and have never looked back. Awesome stuff.

Silicone, or Inox (or Lanox = lanolin based Inox thats rubber safe).

There are so many better lubricants out there than WD/RP7's these days - although they still have uses in cleaning and as a penetrant on rusty nuts & bolts.

Graphite powder can be messy stuff !!!!
