Window regulator lube question?
What type of lube do you use on the window regulator ribbon? I've replaced my driver's side ribbon twice in one year now and I am wondering what caused the part to bad so fast. :mad
Thanks

GM upgraded that ribbon design in 86 to 87 to a metal arm design because of the ribbon failing. You can upgrade yours-not cheap and takes some time, but I did it after replacing too many ribbons....
