i put some silicone base lube in my window track. it worked good for about a day and now it struggles to go up and down. motor and regulator are fine i think the track it clogged. just wonder what would be the best solution to fix this. keep adding lube? grease the track? replace the track? just would like some others opinions.

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)
Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.
These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

Your rubber don't need lube.
Take the door apart, and watch to see whats happening.
If it's the window seal causing the slow rise and drop, adding oils and "Lube" will make it worse, as the rubber will tend to swell and hold the glass instead of what it seems it should do from a normal perspective. We see this happen all the time.
I'd imagine the regulator has slightly bent it's self from forcing things that don't want to move, so you may need to tweak it back in the perfect scissor formation fo it to again work properly."Self Renewed"
