Question

Just a quicky as i recall seeing sum time back that a dose of sum silicon type lubricant on the windows will help the pitifully slow leccy windows on certainly the elder scoobs.
Just bought sum rubber & nylon lubricant from the joys of halfords & was just looking for tips on where to spray how much for the best effect with least mess or drowning speakers etc?
Any tips greatfully received

Hope you get it sorted Si, but if you need and help i have some KY that would do the job just as well.

PS. try going to a breakers to pick up a faster motor from another car. Dont know if that would work nut its an idea.

You can get the `lube` from any motor factors, used on door and window rubbers as well.

Be warned thought; I got a bit carried away and ended up with smeary windows for about 3 months!
