Window crank that is!
My 80s camper has the aluminum framed windows and cranks.
They are very hard to crank to it feels like there going to break.
WD40? Of course want something that will not collect dust/sand.

You could try PB graphite dry lube. Works great on locks and I use it on pier cart wheels, the ones without bearings to stop them from squeaking.

They make a dry silicone spray lube that works good in locations where you don't need grit sticking to everything .

Just did something close too what your doing with my car. White lithium spray on the window regulators moving parts and guide rails .then silicon spray on the window seals ..but I had glass moving through the seals and was catching on them . Both In spray cans. Just read them to make sure I don't have it backwards.but I wasnt to worried about it not collecting dust etc so might be another solution.

WD-40 is not a lube or grease.

 

[surfchunker]

the dry graphite or silicone sprays are both great if you don't want a wet application, wet the white lithium spray works well also ... WD 40 would just be a temp fix

Eek, I thought about making a snarky comment as well. Good thing I thought twice before I shot my mouth off and saw the post was not in The Lounge.

silicone is best. dry lube (teflon) is second best. don't use grease.

Ditto

Don't use PB Blaster. It is like a sand magnet.

Also as stated before WD-40 is not a lubricant.

clean your window regulator with wd40, gumcutter 2+2 or similar, let it dry, then use corrosion x or white lithieum grease, both comes in a spray can
