To: John L; We have the same shocks, I just called it clicks for some stupid reason, I'm at setting 4 out of 5. I have the same problem sliding all the windows open. I tried all sorts of lubricants and nothing helped. I had been told that installing new welting would make them perhaps even stiffer, but in my attempt to cut down on winter drafts I needed to install new welting on the copilot's window and the window in the door. Gary Streeter at Newell Parts sold me the welting and I sprayed the groove with Dow Corning 557 Aluminum Lubricant prior to installing the welting. The windows freed up and are easy to slide. I suspect that the lubricant, which dries and still lubes, allows the welting to give slightly as the window slides so that it doesn't get tight. I'm thinking of changing the welting on all the sliding windows. If I do I'll let you all know how it worked. Now, if anyone knows of a source for the rubber seal for the fixed part of the sliding window where the glass fits into the groove I'd like to be nnotified. If you use silicone RTV as someone did on the copilot's window it takes forever to loosen the glass without breaking it, the original rubber seal makes it much easier. Hope this helps
