Correct seat track lubricant
I'm cleaning up some 63 bucket seat tracks.
What is the correct lube to use on the track runners? Thanks, James Q

My vote is for Lubriplate.

I've been using Blaster for years on things such as that.
What I like is that it repels dust & dirt unlike creamy lubes and it will not stain cloth or vinyl.

Doesn’t Lubriplate or white lithium grease harden over time?
I used it on some door latch and window winder mechanisms and that happened after a few years.

I ended up using the Blaster Silicone (because it was available in my small town) and it was a little messy, It did clean up well.
Thanks, James Q

Originally they did use some sort of grease, but I have no idea what it was.
I use white lithium grease when i clean them up and put them back in, it solidifies fairly quickly and stays put and won't drip on your carpets.

What about in the pistons/gears of the electric seat adjuster pistons? I know the manual calls for lubriplate, but I was wondering about a general purpose/wheel bearing grease? Not sure if that would try to leak out on the carpet on a hot summer day or not.

Possibly a thin coating of Mobil1 grease?
