Windows on my 59 roll up and down real hard. This car was just restored and I know there are things to do when restoring to solve this problem but I need help without taking it apart. Is the a lubrication product I can put on the side window frames to help them roll easier? Thanks in advance

Jerry, I had difficulty with my windows after replacing regulators. My problem was adjusting/aligning the windows in the channels. The only lube I have ever used was Lubriplate on the regulators. Check the ST-12.

Sometimes the front window run is an old GM replacement part which was way too thin for the window to travel up and down. Don't know if that's the case with yours, but have seen it often.Comment

Re: C-1 Side Windows
spray front and rear channel fuzzys with a teflon containing aerosol can(lowes, home depot). you'll have to repeat the spray on occassion . the repo fussys are thicker than originals +/or narrower than originals as mike ernst mentioned.Comment

Re: C-1 Side Windows
Mike and Mike, correct you are, as always! I have my originals from the '57 and also ones I bought from Chevy OTC in '65. It looks like the newer are a bit narrower (without my glasses) and the whiskers are very long. I would be surprised if the original whiskers are as long as the newer ones.
