    Non power window

    Is there any reason why the window crank gets harder to go up or down on a 77 car as it gets older?

    Hi Frank,
    Perhaps it's because the many rolling, sliding, and pivoting parts of the window mechanism have a lubricant that gets stiffer and stiffer as it ages to the point it's almost hard?

      Time to clean and lube the window regulator and related hardware.
