I thought I read a post about fixing the sticky slider windows...but I can't seem to find it... maybe it wasn't even on this board...any suggestions on what to do to get them to slide easier..I have a couple that I can barely budge..I figure the tracks need cleaned out also..whats the best stuff to use / lubricate ? THANKS

I read that too. I was about a week ago I think. The recommendation was a dry lube that is available at Walmart. I *think* it was a graphite lubricant, but I'm not sure. I'll look for the post too as I wanted to buy some and just hadn't gotten around to it.
Wash and clean the window and track, then spray the window track, it's the window that's trying to stick to the rubber seal. Your local hardware store or ---mart has a supply of silicone spray lubricants.
Don't use graphite on the windows unless you want more black streaks running down the side of your trailer....

STICKY SLIDERS part 2:
OK, anyone got any ideas on how to clean out the goove ( rubber)that the windows slide in...I purchased the spray to lubricate..but the tracts are horrible and caked with crud...any suggestions? I tryed blowing them out with air hose..it did very little.. do I need some type of brush?
