While I can't answer which oil to use (although I think white grease would probably work fine)...one of my trucks sort-of has this problem. Sometimes, the passenger side window simply won't go up, period. As in it doesn't even try.

I've found that if I pop off the door panel and disconnect the wiring harness, then reconnect it, it usually works fine. It *seems* like the wiring harness plug is in there tight, so I'm not sure exactly what's wrong.

I do need to oil that window though...so I'll be subscribing to this thread...

I have always used silicone o-ring lube, or the thick silicone grease available at Home improvement stores for lubing faucet valves.

Ford does have this though http://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricant...tegory=Greases

I had sim problem with my 99! In my case the window would just stop working!! Drove me nuts with the on again off again working!! I finally tore into it and what was wrong was the armature on the window motor had a dead spot and if the motor stopped on that dead spot the window quit working! I got a rebuilt motor for it and that solved the problem! Don't know if thats your problem but may help someone else!

This is what I did about 6 years ago now and the windows still work like new.
