I use spray silicone lube on window guide rails.
Went I want something 'slippy' but not oiley or greasey.
whenever that is the requirement, I use silicone spary.
'marine silicone spray' if you see any of that stuff ...I would expect to be really good.
Blocks ( pulleys ) on sailboats always need some lube - read a whole ariticle in a sailbaot magazine about how if you use say WD-40 ...
it doesn't last , or things gum up ..but marine silicone spray - that was 'the' stuff to use.
Window crank handles are pretty easy to buy new.
Lube the window regulator as best you can whenever the door panel is off. I use a spray synthetic grease for that.

Subject: [WetWesties] door grease - '84 Westy Wolfy
Wednesday during a trip from spring in the Willamette Valley down to late
winter in Klamath County my driver's door window stuck - halfway closed or
halfway open, depending upon your point of view. Since it was starting to
snow, my view was that it was halfway open...
Inside the door is a sliding window guide and the guiderail. The guide had
jumped off the rail, and would jam against it about halfway up. After it
jammed I was trying to coax it to go one way or the other, and my handle
broke.
Anyway, before I put the door back together, is there some lubricant to put
on the rail and/or slider? Specifically, what do I avoid? I don't want to
put something on there that will gum up later on.
Anybody have a handle for sale?
Matt
