Re: Lubricating windows

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I did the back windows in my dart, I ended up taking the regulators 
all the way out.  The scissors were bent.  One was almost in a full 
circle. Flattened them back out in a vice.  Took quite a bit of work to 
get them working right, and didnt have any donors I could put in to 
replace them with. 

Then I had to clean them up.  I had to chip out the dried/hardened lube 
that had been on there from the factory and slowly hardened over 35 
years.   Then put a nice coat of Lithium on all moving parts from the 
gear, regulator, wheels, etc.  They seemed to work great for about 8 
years.  Now, the other day, I noticed the regulator that had been the 
worst is starting to get stiff again.

All Said, about 4 hours for both  rear windows.
