Hey guys/girls
It's come to a stage on the Fairmont on the drivers side that when you put up the window theres a shocking screeching sound. It's gotten worse and can't take it :P Just wanted to know if there's any easy way to get rid of it? Thanks  |

Silicone spray is a wet lube and will attract dirt go for graphite powder instead.

Thanks for the replies
I got myself some silicone spray. Whats the correct way to apply it, can I just apply it directly to the glass? I've got no idea :P |

Correct way is to just spray into the tracks and then put the windows up and down a few times.

spry it in the tracks whilst the windows are down, the roll them up and down a few times, if they are still sticky and/or screeching re-do them.
I was told by a ford mechanic to do this after you wash your car as the water and detergent fries the tracks out. cheers.
