Hey Guys. I'm going to be installing my moisture barriers I got from PCG on my front doors but before I do I need to get a decent grease for my window gears. Looking for something good but not too stinky.

White Lithium Grease is what I use. It's also what I normally found on them from the factory.

White grease works, but gums up and attracts dirt. Silicon paste can be applied so thin that it won't gun up and does not attract dirt. It also doesn't melt until thousands of degrees.
Caliper slides, spark plug boots, throttle and choke linkages, window channels, etc.

I wouldn't go quite THAT far, but 400F is probably far beyond any of our needs.
The best part though is it's low temp range (-40).

Good tip. My Uncle and I both have Nissan Frontier trucks and both had a problem with windows freezing in the up position this winter. I'll try that next winter as I can see it may be a dust magnet in warmer months.

Thanks for the info, Bill. Just ordered a can. I've been doing this hot rod crap for a long time and had never heard of this product...

Another vote for silicone grease..made my windows operate smooth and quiet again, seems to be holding up to wear and tear nicely

Tri-flow makes a really good clear grease as well. Thin coat only needed and it doesn't break down some plastics like a few greases out there do. It's also waterproof.

Castrol Optimol Paste White T is excellent for window regulators & anything that needs to slide,I think Castrol changed the name to Molub-Alloy Paste White T
