Anyone have a problem with the windows seeming slow/squeaking on the rubber when operated ??? If I pull the top of the door inner away from the window they seem to run better...but seems as if they are catching/not lubricated unnasssisted.....anything I can do to overcome this ???

I seem to recall a thread on this a long time ago. General opinion was that Baby Oil on the seals was the best bet.

adam...what you do in your private time is fine by me but best keep it to yourself....

So oil on the rubbers either side then ?? And hope the window does not get too oily....

I have heard from several sources that the silicon lubricant is just as good as baby oil - and more appropriate when your neighbour is looking!

Anyone know where to get such stuff?

Cheers,

I use a silicone aerosol spary that I bought in John Lewis. Think it's called "Rolls Lubricant" anyway its in the habidashery section 'cos they sell it to lubricate "Swish" curtain tracks etc. Works perfectly and is non-greasy, Rich...
