    With the windows up, jam the little red straw toward what you invision to be the lower corner of the glass. When you bump into the metal track (an inch or so) spray away... don't spray like you're paying for it. Soak it good. Repeat for the rear track. Put the window down and do the slots the glass rides in. Soak it good. Run the window up and down a few times. Smile at improved operation. Have a beer to celebrate just how skilled and clever you are. Have a beer to celebrate the first beer. Repeat the two final steps as many times as necessary, and as often as possible.

    bump!! dont know about the rest of you but we've had rain rain and more rain recently, the humidity is starting to take its toll on my window tracks, theyre starting to slow slightly, so time to break the rags and lube out!

    also probably a good time to grab the grease gun and get some clean grease in your drive shaft joints and sway bar bushings (if you upgraded them that is..) i just greased all 3 points (3 on the drive shaft and 4 bushings) and my vx is quieter than ever
