1961 power windows not smoothly operating

[Bob walsh]

My power windows work well but have a bounce here and there going up. Ques: is there a way to lubricate in the track or window frame, without damaging felt, to make the upward travel a little smoother?

I don’t believe so because the whole track would have to be greased and getting the grease down All the way would be difficult. Also the track guides may be worn and catching on the way up and down. is it the main window or back 1/4’s?

I removed the panels (door and rear seat) and with the windows in the up position used lithium grease to lubricate the tracs a number of years ago with no negative effects to the felt. They have been running smoothly for the past ten years.

the front window comes up fast but tends to bounce a little on way up. One rear window comes up smooth, but stops half-inch short of full close?
