    Unhappy window lubricant

    The dreaded window slowing is beginning and I fear that with the reluctant moaning the motor is making, that window woes are imminent.
    Do you guys recommend any particular lubricant for the windows?
    Additionally, 2 other questions :
    # has any "official" window fix been decided upon here?
    # did anything ever come of our petition efforts?

    Many thanks in advance.
    Max.

    Use a silcone spray. Especially useful is one that has the straw attachment to spray down into the tracks. With car washes and rain you may have to reapply accordingly.

    No window fix as yet. One of our VX members is working on one. He is testing prototypes and the best materials for it. Baby the windows for now.

    That petition did nothing.

    You know, just a few weeks ago I thought I was in trouble too. The windows started getting sloooooow. But they've sped back up. I dunno why. Weather? My VX has never seen snow (almost like me!). And it was sitting in a snow filled parking lot on lovely Ft Sill, Oklahoma for two weeks when I got back to it and it started doing the slow-window thing. Well, I'm glad it's back to normal. knock on wood.

    Oh. And I do not understand why there are fellow Californians wearing scarves in 60 degree weather. Guess it didnt bother me much till my new perspective on sleeping in snow
