Hi

Hope this is the right place to ask this question.

I have high top ex rental van and the windows at the top are very difficult to slide,  I am not sure of right lubricant to use.   Any suggestions would be appreciated

Many thanks

Rooney

Grab a stick of Dry Lube from just about any auto parts shop. It's perfect for any metal on metal (and plastic) moving parts and not affected by water, dust etc...
