[DeTomaso] power window question

[Asa Jay Laughton]

  I can attest to the fact there is a right grease and a wrong grease to 
use here.  One will make the motor work quickly, the other will make it 
work sluggish.  My drivers window goes up slowly, the passenger window 
goes quickly.  Difference?  ... the grease.  Trust me on this, unless 
there is another more specific grease to use.... I'd go with the white 
lithium stuff.  :)
