Features of Car Window Channel

Support Window Glass

The car window channel provides a stable support structure for the window glass. The window glass slides in the rails and can move up and down inside the door. The design and materials of the guide rails ensure the safe movement of the window panes.

Guided Window Glass Movement

The shape and structure of the window rail guide the movement of the window glass within the door. This ensures smooth up-and-down movement of the window glass, avoiding skewing or wobbling. It provides reliable sports performance.

Sealing Effect

Window rails provide a seal when the window is closed. It prevents outside air, moisture, dust, and noise from entering the vehicle. This helps improve driving comfort and blocks unwanted external distractions.

Waterproof And Dustproof

Window rails help prevent rain, mud, and dust from entering your vehicle by providing an effective seal. This will help keep the interior of your car dry and clean.

How to Lubricate Car Window Channels

1. Clean The Window Channels

Start by cleaning the window channels. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the channels. Cleaning ensures that the lubricant can be applied directly to the surfaces that need it.

2. Lower The Windows

Lower the windows completely. This allows better access to the entire window channel.

3. Apply Lubricant

Shake the lubricant well before use. Spray a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or dry Teflon spray directly into the window channels. Ensure that the spray reaches all areas of the channel where the window makes contact.

4. Operate The Windows

After applying the lubricant, raise and lower the windows several times. This can ensure lubricant spreads evenly across the channels. It helps to distribute the lubricant and coat the surfaces thoroughly.

5. Wipe Excess Lubricant

Use a clean cloth or paper towel to wipe away any excess lubricant that may have accumulated on the window or inside the door panel. Excess lubricant can attract dirt, so it's important to remove it.

FAQs About Car Window Channel Seal

What kind of lubricant can be used?

Silicone-based lubricants or dry Teflon sprays are recommended. These lubricants will not damage rubber components and provide good lubrication.

How often is the lubrication required?

The frequency of lubrication depends on usage conditions and car models. Generally speaking, it is appropriate to lubricate every few months to half a year. In humid or rainy climates, more frequent lubrication may be required.

How to check if window rails need lubrication?

If the window feels stuck, has increased noise, or is not smooth in its up-and-down motion, this may be a sign that the window rails need lubrication. In addition, checking whether there is accumulated dust or impurities on the surface of the guide rail is also a sign of judgment.

Do I need to disassemble the window when lubricating the window rails?

Typically, the window can be lubricated without disassembling it. Lowering the window to its lowest position makes it easier to spray and lubricate the lubricant.

Will lubricating the window rails attract more dust?

Use appropriate lubricants and control the amount of lubricant to avoid excessive dust adsorption. Excessive lubricant may attract more dust. Therefore, wipe off excess lubricant after application.
