Greetings all:
I just bought my first LC - 1994, lockers, 86,000 miles - and have a quick question for the group.
My driver's side window has been getting progressively slower until yesterday it finally wouldn't raise without being pulled up by hand. I did a search and saw that several people have lubricated the window tracks with marine grease and had success. However, the dealer tells me that the rubber channel is "warped" and will require replacement - to the tune of $250.
Does this seem right to you? Is this something I can do myself? (My mechanical skills are limited although I do possess opposable thumbs.) Where can I get the part? (perhaps the famous Cruiserdan?)
Thanks to all for your input. This is a great forum and I read it with enjoyment.

skills. The old one came out easily. I sprayed the new one with silicone and attempted to slide it down the channel. I was able to get all of it in except the last 4 inches or so on both the front and back of the window. I had to take the door panel off, peel back the waterproofing plastic and actually take the window completely off the track to be able to pull the rubber guide all the way down. I'm sure I am the exception to the rule cause very little goes right when I try something that sounds simple.
