[QUOTE="2ndFord, post: 1721928, member: 46420"] Mine's an '18 and I've had a broken track, some other part failure, and had to have it reprogrammed twice when the thing refused to shut.... glass would slide forward, then bounce back to full open once the "closed" point was reached. Very important to "pop" to vent and then close before trying to retract. Still I'm happy I have the twin panel. Lets the heat out after it's been parked in the sun, and I prefer to drive with it open as opposed to running A/C. HOWEVER - Since I have had problems with it I have followed this subject closely on FRF. I went to the parts counter at my local Ford Dealer and asked for this "Krytox" stuff and they looked at me like I had 3 heads. Said they'd never heard of it. Also said as long as I kept it lubed with SOMETHING I should have no warranty issues. So I've used Aladdin "Magic Lube", a PFTE-based lubricant/sealant. Water proof, non-melting, suitable for wet or dry environments, temp range 0-425F. Had this stuff laying around for pool gaskets, have used it on food service equipment and sports drink lid mechanisms too (non-toxic and rated for those applications). Anyone have on opinion on continuing to use this to lube the rubber-to-glass gasket??? Comments appreciated. Also, as to the parts counter person having never heard of "Krytox", maybe I need to hit the counter on a different day. Tried to but wiper blades there once while the truck was in for an oil change, and was told they didn't carry them. On my next visit they did have them. Maybe it's the same for Krytox, depends on the day of the week and the counter person you get. [/QUOTE]
