I have the passenger side door panel off. I tried spray grease, but it
didn't work very well. I then tried 'tri-flow' and it worked great for a
couple weeks. I can easily see the track, so lubing it isn't the problem,
but can't see enough of the gear mechanism to effectively grease it.
With regard to Mike's question...my plan was to cut 2 1" holes into my door
panels in strategic locations, and put a chrome plug in each. Then I would
just have to roll the window to the right spot, remove the plug and lube.
But until I find a lube which works right, this may not be the right
solution.
