I am wanting to replace the door to cabin wiring boots. I was thinking of lubing the electric window mechanisms while I had the door panels removed. My question is does anyone have suggestions on what type of lube or grease, that is used for them? Thanks!!

I repaired my rear window regulators on my 300CD. These are very sensitive to lube (will bend if not treated right). I used Dow molykote 33 low temp grease.

I have an issue with the driver's door window. Since purchase it makes a clumping sound at a point in rolling it up. There was another person on the forum, that expressed the same problem in a post(some time ago). I never did know what the problem was, and didn't find the post since. Has anyone had this problem? If I just go in spurts rolling the window up it do not seem to do this or as much. I am not for sure what is meant by regulator?

in my case it was rubber holder and rubber itself which was deteriorated
I had to pull everything out and weld a holder (see pic) as it had crack
and new rubber which holds window glass.

In my car, the window operated correctly in all ways but wasn't perfect. It turned out one of the stops was flipped over.

Seems to me I got mine at NAPA, it's nothing magical, just a lightweight grease.

DO MAKE SURE your bolts are tight!! Check 'em all! I had a window go down but it wouldn't go back up because one of the bolts fell off the assembly. Turned into a BIG problem for me. While you have the door panels off, check them for tightness.
