    What old timers learned from their Dad's which young folks don't learn any longer is that moving bits must be lubricated in order to prevent wear, or eventual lack of operation.
    From the old timers history log ....
    If it moves, lube it ..... if its stationary (and exposed), paint it (coat it)... finally, always clean it...

      I didn't know WD40 brand sold cans of silicone. I've been buying gallons of WD40 penatrant to loosen rusty fasteners for decades. It evaporates in short order, so I doubt it would help sticky windows for more than a week or so.
      Same with using WD40 to shine oxidized headlamps. After it evaporates, they become dull again.

I use silicone lube to treat rubber around the car (including window rubber) to prevent dry rot and keep the rubber pliable. Killing two birds, with one stone! I like it. Great tip Scotty. It explains why I have never really had a problem with my power windows. Those motors are quite expensive, yes.

    Great vid, Scotty! I can verify through personal experience this DOES work - even if your motors are weak/failing, it might just prolong them. I use silicone spray on my 28-year-old Buick and it works every time!
    And, when it comes to GM cars, sometimes it's just easier to change the whole door out with a working junkyard door than it is to replace the motors when they finally burn out. Took me a little over an hour to change two doors on an S-10 Blazer where both window motors failed, as opposed to several hours disassembling each door and messing with the mechanisms!

      LazyEyeCrazyI I must concur with you, my esteemed colleague. Ford and BMW must use the same brushes or windings in their motors because before I started typing this, I pressed my window up toggle, made a sandwich and now here I am. Another 40 seconds or so and it'll be mere centimeters from its apex. While I'm waiting, I will note that BMW has the best paint aside from Ferrari. Their Red is close to comparable to that of Ferrari in my opinion. Although, I haven't cared much for the color codes in the past few years. I'm not trying to be a dick when I say this, but they started using womens mascara colors to attract more female buyers which I understand, but they could definitely throw in a deep orange or burgundy, or even cubed blue like Cadillac did... that paint was gorgeous I have to admit and I'm a ford guy... Ford paint is by far the worst. A month old garage kept vehicle shouldn't feel like a junkyard undercarriage, ever! And my window along with my time is up...

    I grease and white lithium silicone spray the rollers, pivot points, and hings on the actual window riser frame and use the grease on the gears (the spiked teeth). Helps AMAZINGLY on ANY car older then 5 years of age. Also make sure your felt strips that are on both sides of the window, one inside the door and one on the outside. They wear out sometimes or have tears that cause slow or even completely stopped windows.
    To Man Asking About Preventing Fogging On Windows: To prevent fogging on the windows, use RAIN-X ANTI-FOG. It lasts a very long time and you only need to re-apply a coat on the inner window every year or so.

    in case it hasn't been mentioned, use tyre shine spray if you already have it rather than buying expensive silicone spray. Tyre shine is silicone based, and fixed my binding window track, which was causing the window to stop as the overload switch was tripping due to rapid heat build up..

    Hi Scotty! Thanks for all your great videos! With regard to using the silicon lubricant on the windows is there any concern if the windows have a tinted film applied? If not, I'm hoping this will take care of the fact that my power windows have decreased in speed. Thanks again!

  • @66gt40lm
    @66gt40lm 8 років тому +23

    Silicone lube spray is also good to keep windows from freezing shut.

    • @draconpost
      @draconpost 8 років тому +4

      +66gt40lm yep, lube helps to keep windows from sealing, and vaseline helps so the door seals wont stuck together, I do this every year and never had issues, well, only when the whole car got covered in ice but that's a different story

    • @cardinaloflannagancr8929
      @cardinaloflannagancr8929 5 років тому

      draconpost actually silicone is good on both overtime you'll see the issues with using things that seem to be fine. Petrol based can dry out and cause parts to become brittle or tear. I use rain x on my windows then drop them down and do the tops that normally are covered by the seal. That way you don't get felt/rubber stuck to the edges if your windows are usually closed, kept outside etc.. That also helps keep them from being frozen in the winters.
