Solved problem: Tight sliding windows (MK2)

Hi,

I replaced all seals etc. to the door frames. Now the problem is that the sliding windows are extremely tight in the 'groove' and you need a lot of force to get them moving. The seal seems to be correctly installed - fits nicely into the frame groove.

Are they different types of seals for MK2 or what the problem is?


Update:

See background and the solution from my web pages:

Hi,

I have the same tight windows after replacing the seals, I was advised to use silicon spray on them, it helps for a while.
