Hi all
I wonder if anyone knows how to fix stiff to wind up/down window in a 60 seris/
I have pulled door skin off and lubed all slides / moving parts i can see and it helps but still very stiff. Strangly they seem to be ok at times and then not at other times?
It seemed to help a bit also when i lube the top section where the window slides up into the door frame with dry glide, but still not as easy as they should be and soon return to as hard as ever.
Help

Kind Regards
GN

Hi Oldpop
I have removed the trims and lubed the winder mechanism,
and have lubed the rubber channel but with "CRC dry glide"
I will try silicon lube, I am not familiar with it, is it a pressure pack type product?
Kind Regards

I use powdered graphite on my window channels.
Don't forget the rear door wnioiws too, they usually don't get used that often, and a likely to bind up without use.

It could be the rubber slides are worn and this allows the window to tilt diagonally which jams them up.
I have tried everything suggested in this thread and resigned to the fact I need new rubber.

A good clean in the rubber slides and the edge of the glass can help

I have one of these bits of 4wd history and when I wind the windows up and down I am just happy to struggle and feel proud that I have one.LOL
Thanks I will try the above ideas also.

All the best
