window weather strips
 

Is there a product that reduce the weather strip drag on the windows?

My 64 Galaxie windows weather strips are somewhat stiff resulting in too much drag on the drag I have to give the glass a helping hand when raising and lowering the glass.

I have to replace one of the rear regulators because weather strip drag was too much for it.

Try regular and copious doses of silicone spray lubricant in the channels until you get them broken in. Silicone doesn't stain and doesn't attract dirt.

wd 40 and as stated silicone maybe a teflon spray ck the rollers on regulator also grease tends to harden up making it difficult to roll

if you're talking about the vertical runs most are adjustable. maybe too tight against the glass.

The weather strips I am referring to are horizontal to the car. They are at the top of the door cards.
