Default Window Regulator Channel

Simple question, what do you lubricate the regulator channels with before installing glass? Regular grease, white lithium? irgoatmike

Penray product called inner slide lube. It's a liquid graphite lube that stays on what you spray it on.

White lithium grease is another good choice.

I've tried the 3M spray on white lithium on my cars with poor results. It dried out before long. And, also turned yellow. After three years of using it I cleaned everything and went with a graphite lube. So far it's been great. Perhaps I ended up with a bad couple of cans of 3M.

I just used wheel bearing grease on mine. Over 8 years since my resto and my windows go up and down smooth as silk.
