It has been found that the propellant within aftermarket aerosol spray lubricants attacks the weatherstrip flocking adhesive and can cause high friction during glass cycling.

To prevent this condition, it is suggested that dealers only use Mini-Vent Lube (Part No. D3AZ-19553-A) or Silicone Lubricant (Jelly) (Part No. COAZ-19553-A) as a lubricant for minimizing door glass or vent window high and/or sticking glass operating afforts. These two aftermarket lubricants are longer lasting and may be applied to the window and vent window weatherstrips during Dealer Prep and/or normal customer service visits. Aerosol sprays should NOT be used.
