Sliding windows in living area on new T6.1 Ocean very stiff

[ladybugbus]

Hi all.
The sliding small side windows (one in the sliding door and one above the cooker) are very stiff and difficult to open. They have been like this since I picked up my T6.1 Ocean in May. Any suggestions to make them a little easier to open.
Thank you in advance.

use dry lubricant spray, also usefull for cupboard doors.
search amazon for "dry lubricant" or "dry lubricant for woodworking" .

Go to any screwfix / Toolstation , without a doubt SILICONE SPRAY , will have them gliding perfectly , I did mine recently .
When spray hold rag by glass stop going on there .
Trust me on this Silicone spray best I also use it within my job for rubber o rings .

Firstly they do get dirty which can make stick, so clean first with soapy water or wipes .
Then spray , clean first though.

Yes, PTFE spray is dry and I find that it doesn’t attract dust and become gummy. WD40 do a version.

Absolutely! 100% nothing else goes on the sliding door top and bottom rollers.
