Sliding window tips

[pj48009]

My 19 Minnie plus sliding windows are a pain to open and close every day. I bought the 3&1 brand RV window lubricant that gives me a couple days till they stick again. Any tips on making these things more livable? One window in the bedroom is the push out type and I sure wish they would have used those all around.

I use Aerospace 303 to keep the rubber supple so it doesn't fold under and bind. Rubber loves 303, soaks it in like a sponge, one of the best overall products I've ever found. I buy it a gallon at a time and use it in the trailers, tow vehicles also for radiator hoses, CV boots, door seals. CV boots last a long time with a good soak spray a few times a year. Great for trailer tires in storage, spray it on and it keeps dryrot out of the equation.

Thanks. I tried some lubricant oil on one window and it helped. The owners manual says to use powdered graphite or light lubricant oil. The window stuff sold at rv stores is useless. I’ll give the 303 a try
