The outside weatherbelt that wipes the glass (w/o defrost E0TZ9842006B, w/defrost F2TZ9842006A) is D8TZ-9841610-A and cost $24 in 1996. The inner (9841676 above) is F6TZ-9842072-AA and was $27. Use silicone spray lube on the flocked weatherbelts & glass runs.
The slides & tracks ON THE GLASS should be kept clean & dry because the plastic slides are their own lubricant. But if you must use grease, the best grease for them would be PTFE:
Graphite paint in the channels is even better because it dries.
Reassemble in this order:
1. pressure wash & allow to dry in sun for a day or 3
2. undercoat inside bottom (to prevent rust) & allow to dry for a day or 3
3. lock cylinder, latches, center mechanism, inside handle, bottom bumpstops, regulator w/motor
4. switch & harness, outside trim panel (if applicable)
5. side tracks
6. glass (F2TZ9842006A)
7. glass tracks, weatherbelts
8. end seals, rain shield
9. access panel
