I know there's a few items regarding the window channels but the common problem seems to be tight windows in channels. Has anyone got a miracle cure? I decided to replace the old channels with new ones, bought the new ones from minispares, the 'genuine item' ones (atleast that's what I ordered), put them in, put window in and you'd need to be Arnie Schawsername to wind them up and down!. I know if I left them like that, something would break. So I pulled it apart again, checked fitment in frame, nothing obvious, refitted them and silicon lubed them, still way too tight. Am I doing something wrong? I've fitted stacks of window channels in cars but this has me stumped. Should I have bought the budget ones?  Surely I'm not the only one that's struck this. HEEEELLLLPPP!
