Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 Window Regulator Grease

I have been using this for many years now:

 

www.super-lube.com - synthetic grease with syncolon-ptfe

 

It doesn’t gum up like petroleum greases.

All,

 

I'm in the midst of cleaning out the window motor regulators for at least the third, if not fourth or more time in my 308. For those who don't have experience with this, be happy -- everyone knows the 308 motors get slow, and the biggest issue is that the grease inside the regulators (the nylon gears that the motor drives) eventually turns to a sticky glue-like substance.

 

The purpose of my post/email is to see what people here recommend as the best grease to put in there. I've been using white lithium grease, but again, over the years, this turns to very very sticky glue. I won't say I've never driven the car in the rain, but it is very rare. That said, the interior of the doors (between panels and exterior of the door) is somewhat subjected to "the elements." The car is garaged but hasn't been climate controlled (that will change soon), so it does get cold in the winter and hot in the summer.

 

Thoughts? I'll probably cross-post this in F-chat.

 

Thanks,

-Matt
