Title: Opening and closing sliding windows--it's so hard
Post by: 18360 on February 14, 2022, 04:00:25 pm
     Is there anything we can put on the windows to make them slide easier?

    Thanks

I periodically saturate the tracks with Dry Silicone Spray. Works for me.

Yup, after cleaning the track DRY with a tooth brush (never your own) to remove accumulated dirt and dust.

Somebody on the Forum suggested rubbing the (clean) tracks with wax paper.  Seems to keep ours sliding free.
