Hello guys that know more than me  was gonna change to my bigger cold weather w/s , and while I was in there, it looks like the tracks, or slides are pretty dry. was wondering what grease or lube to use in such an application?

Service manual calls for silicon grease right and left rails and olefin grease center rail

olefin = Molykote EM-30L

thanks guys!!

How often do you all lube it?  Easy does is gents.

Great question. I have 40k miles and 3 years and I've never touched the windshield mechanism. I'm guessing I should do it soon.

Funny, I never had to 'get in there' to swap windshields.

You shouldn't have to.  I never have...to swap shields.

It was only a matter of time before this thread turned. 

And it turned south..

I wish I was in the "south" then I wouldn't have to do this....

I just used white grease on mine. Not sure what olefin grease is.

There can be only one thing to add now..... KiPass!

Does that mean I can post pics again in it? 


     

Go for it...it will just get locked again if the answer is no 

Interesting question Jay. I cannot think of any test that may be useful in determining the answer either....

Nope.  The question is-What lube do I use when I mount a car tire to Jims Connie, synthetic or dino?

I bought some olefin grease off ebay for I think 4 bucks. So far, used it once! On the windshield!!

So what makes the olefin grease special and why on just the center rail?
