Default Power Rear Window

My rear window sticks and becomes inoperable at times. PB Blaster in the tracks lube it for a few weeks, but then it closes shut again.

My question ism what would be the best way to lube the window track? Would powder graphite work?

Thanks.

Never tried it but what about that dry RV slide stuff from Wally World...I was gonna try it on a squeaky driver window.

That has got to be the same stuff that I saw at Ace - it is an aerosol in a rattle can of graphite that allegedly dries dry - it says that it will stain fabrics, but there is nothing in that area that I care about - I just want it to work...

What is anyone doing to lube this area up?

This back power window is just a stupid *** design, IMHO.

Silicone spray?

I tried silicone, but that stuff gets tacky in my experience...and it seems to collect dirt and stuff, don't you think?

I used PB Blaster to try and set some of the dried and tacky silicone off, placing it on the cable for some extra protection and that has worked the longest of any solution so far, but I get a couple of rains, and it all get gummed up again...

The spray on graphite doesn't mention glass as one of its potential uses, so that is why I brought it up..
