Window Track Cleanup
My power windows go up and down slow on my '77. What is the easiest way to get at the window track to clean it up and re-grease? What kind of grease should I use? Should I also re-grease the power window motor? Any other tips on what should be done while I'm in there would be appreciated.

Idon't have PW but when I was adjusting my window for my Convertible top install I took everything out. Taking the track out was easier than I thought it was going to be. It was a lot nicer having the tracks out so I could clean them up really good. I don't know what kind of grease the factory used but I used a small amount of high temp wheel bearing grease and put a small film along each track and wheels. Made a big difference on how the window functions.

You have to take everything out to clean properly, and the Lithium grease has the right consistancy (not too thick at low temps) Here is something that might help.

Great pic Eddie. Right click and save on that one. Could come in very handy for a long time, especially in post like this one.
