Re: IML: car door lock, window / latch grease?

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

A heavy, sticky grease would be good, lithium slightly
less so.

Whatever you do, avoid the temptation of the aerosol
lithium grease in the spray can.  It is a disaster
waiting to happen and will get approximately 16% of
its spray-pattern onto the target, according to
scientific testing conducted in my labor-a-tory.

I used bearing axle/grease.  The windows loved it.  A
correct 196o window mechanism will both delight and
intimidate via its comparative high speed operation
when running correctly.

"Latch" grease would likely be lighter?  I didn't
fiddle with mine, so don't have a clue.  Leave them as
dry as possible or risk getting it on your clothes
from the exposed striker in the door jamb.
