Mr Sheen in the tracks worked well with my power windows that wouldn't close

some know-it-all's here believe silicone grease will solve worn out window
channel problems.

They are $80 per door, buy them, fit them, lube them, problem gone.

its one piece of rubber that's upside down U shaped that is pretty easy to
install.

If the window winder unit is the same as on my EA, their a buggar to put in.
First ya got to get hold of the rivits that secure them. I actually used
small nuts and botls. It seems if you wind them too fast over time, the
spring mechanism stretches and over winds over itself thus locking itself
down and making us humans force the hanle more, you can actually feel some
thing is wrong and if i had known, would have corrected before the worst
happened. Oh well we are slaves to our car. A hint tho, i was told by our
local ford dealer thatthe rear passenger fits the front driver and vice
versa. The new ones were drilled and a tube glued in over the winder wire so
now i just pour a little oil down the tube it helps.

I'm having exactly the same problem with both front windows in my EF sedan.
Windows wind down easily but when i go to wind up the window leans forward
slightly making it hard to wind up (if i grab the glass and push back into
place the window moves ok).  I've tried numerous things on the black rubber
track.  Judging by your responses i'm guessing this movement of the window
could mean the sliding mechanism is dry also??  I wonder how much it'd cost
to just hand it over to a ford workshop to have them fix it for me.
