NSX windows are very sensitive when it comes to having the tracks lubricated. The problem has been getting it done. Reaching the rear track is difficult enough. It involves removing the inner door panel but the front track? Ha! There are no access holes on the innner door to reach it.
The tracks run the length of the door from top to bottom. The upper ends of the tracks terminate where the triangular black plastic sash trim pieces are. Or pretty close to them anyway.
Early today I was rummaging through one of my junk drawers when I came across my long forgotten NiteIze. What is a NiteIze you ask? It's a handy dandy fiber optic adapter that fits on a Mini Mag-Lite. Take a look.
In a darkened garage, you can slip the tip of the fiber optic wand into the window opening (window all the way down for this) and get a clear view of the tracks. Then with the track illuminated, holding a can of WD-40 with a long ass straw on the nozzle, you can position it aiming right at the track. A good 20 second blast, wait a few minutes for gravity to do its thing and presto! The windows glide silently up at never before seen speeds! it will be interesting to see how well the WD-40 holds up. I also have cans of white lithium grease and Break-Free that I can try the next time.
