as the wise one says really, have seen 4 or 5 omegas with this problem now. Always cured with a bit of lube on the runners, i used silicon as it was all i had, but ptfe is dry and does not leave smears on the window. Obviously dont use oil based petro chemical products on rubber. :-)

Yeh, silicon is not ideal due to the smearing and it also attracts dirt and dust which can cuase a bigger problem in the future.

I think silicon is bets kept in the plumbers tool box in this case  :y

Yes i havent worded that well have I. I did not use silicon on 4 or 5 omegas. I used ptfe. I used silicon no my own window, i had nothing else, to get the bugger to close and stop the rain getting in.

I have an annoying habit of feeling for and pressing the rear window button when i want to open the front window, in this case only to find it wouldnt close again.

See, told you he was wise. :-)
