Thought I'd posted this, but it hasn't shown up yet. Dropped my '02 LS430 off for 85k servicing and some minor warranty work this evening. Asked service manager for his suggestions. He said to clean the top of the window as well asthat strip good and then use a silicon lubricant spray on the strip. Will try it later this week when I get it home and post results.
LOL, yeah in a past life Smitty was a comic that just never got out. Really good guy and was the first (local) to welcome me to the club when I joined in 06. We have become really good friends, and NELOC as a whole, is really one big family. Make sure you check out the Carlisle threads we have going for May. This is a HUGE event for us and we use it as 1 big regional gathering. We get to see alot of faces behind the screen names and since the travel is not far for any of us (MD<VA<NJ<NY<etc.) alot of people come out. Normally the BBQ's rank second in largest attendance gathering but Smitty's is turning out to be pretty huge in itself.
