Recently, during wet weather, the windows in my '96 managed to form some sort of suction grip in their sealing rubbers, making it difficult to wind them down the first 1/2". Had to manually assist the pane. A spray of silicon lubricant into the neoprene window channels fixed the problem as well as a spray into the indicator switch which had started to stick.
Routine maintenance I know,..but the advent of silicon lube-spray makes the job easy compared to previous stuff.

what indicator switch? thanks
Over here, we are referring to the lane-changing/corner-turning, left-right switch mounted on the steering column. Yellow bezels front and rear are used for this. In the US, at least a few years ago, I noticed you guys use your brake lights to indicate L/R direction changes,.is that still the case ?

It depends on the car and who made it. And on the rear, the turn indicators might be red or amber. Or as you say they use the brake lights on some. I wish thay were all amber. They seem to be easiest to see. And as far as silicone spray goes . I have used it for many years to keep all of my weatherstrips soft and pliable here in our hot dry climate. Scott
Up here in Canada, many drivers don't put their turn flasher on until
*actually* in the turn. Real smart. Not.
It seems to take time for a good standard to eventuate. Up until as late as
1970, some cars had white indicator lights on the front here,..some yellow. The flashing brake light was a feature on local GM products here (the Holden) till about '56.Jason
Oh I thought they'll shout "Im turning Right, Eh! : )
