Oh! I meant to ask what is the correct lubricant for the regulator, window channels (graphite, not silicone?), and the lift mechanism gears?
hood levellibng pads are ordered.

I'll get to the u pull it asap for that knob.

-New stereo headunit (it died)
-Dash bulbs when I take out the headunit
-Guide rod bushings kit
-A bunch of touch up paint
-A new rear passenger door
-Front shocks
-Rebuild all the injectors with Bosio nozzles
-Power seat switches for both front doors
-A new sheepskin for my seat
-New Alternator belts
-Transmission fluid change with synthetic fluid $$$

I don't mind the parts costs. That is why I bought this car. (we all know that part ...) I got a good price - no rust to speak of - fix it up and drive it for another 25 years......

btw this is what I am installing in the CD after I have the basics taken care of. It is not too flashy and good deal;
