Hey guys
79 bronco..passenger side window. Will roll down but is very hard to roll up. I just put in a new trim kit. I don’t have the same problem on the other side. I have used lithium grease where I can. Any ideas or tips on why it is so hard to roll up? I am afraid the glass will break if I keep messing with it.

Yep, I have used silicon spray. If you can find a "food Grade" silicone it is awesome because it doesn't transfer and make the glass gooey like other sprays.

did you glue the felt liner in? Could it be pulling loose and bunching up in the track?

The other thing I have done is actually tear the felt liner leaving an edge for the glass to catch on while it goes up. You again can glue it back down.

Other than that, did you take the tracks loose? If the tracks get too wide the glass can tip in there and drag really hard rather than going straight up and down.
