Cost me $16 from Ford when it was in for its last service to lube all windows.  Due to it not being under warranty.

did it work?

Thanks for the tips, Silicon most likely will not effect the tint film, the dirt and grit built up would do more damage.

IT IS WARRANTY.

Dont accept your dealer trying to tell you it isn't.

I had the same problem and my dealer told me straight up that it was warranty.

Push them on it...........Hard if ya hafta.

I had problems with my drivers side window not going down automatically. Took it to ford and it was getting stuck on the rubber surrounds. All fixed under warranty so don't believe your dealer if he says it's not.

I visited my local dealer at lunch. It apparently is not warranty (clearly consistency amoung dealers is not evident). Never the less they did fix it at no cost (only the one window) so I cant complain about that!

The product Ford uses is "GE Viscasil" which is a silicone lube which is resistant to water. Standard Silicone lubes will not last as long (allegedly)

If you want to but a small bottle of the stuff, it'll cost you - $58..... It must be made by one legged virgins in the deep forests of Tunisia from the rear and endangered Viscasil beetle.

BTW Window up time now improved from 7.5secs to 2.5secs
