Question Window channel lube

Hey guys, this might be common knowledge, but I was wondering what would be a good lubricant for my drivers door window slide? It's been really hard to roll up and down for quite awhile and I kept thinking it just needed an "adjustment" until my son noticed the channel itself was being pulled down at the top corner!! I still think it needs some sort of adjustment? Any thoughts or suggestions??

clean it really well and then grease it with something pretty permanent. I used lithium grease on mine.

I use Lucas White Lithium at work all the time. Comes in a squeeze tube. Quality stuff.

Paste silicon only..... Lithium is a mess. Silicon will melt in the hot weather and be invisible, Lithium not

My .02 cents

Silicone also migrates everywhere and makes it nearly impossible to get paint to ever stick again.

NO silicone gets near my cars anymore.
