I'm cleaning out the grooves for my sliding windows.....toothbrush, vacuum, small amounts of water, etc. What's the best lubricant to use after the cleaning?

I have used Sil glyde for a few things as well. I found the white plastic tips from RTV tubes work on the Sil Glyde tube, and can make a grease needle of sorts to get it into tight spots. Like a window channel without too much mess.

I would not use that on the window sliders. It can attract dirt and grit that will actually cause the window to stick more. I would use a silicone spray which does not leave a “greasy” residue.

After I replaced the window channels on my coach a few years ago, I could barely slide the window (on the first one). After spraying the new channel with silicone spray, they slid easily. A regular cleaning and re-spray with new silicone spray lubricant seems to be keeping them working well.
