What is a good lubricant for glass sliding door tracks? I suppose I
need something that will lube the tracks for at least a few weeks,
without attracting too much dirt and grime to the lubricant itself.
I have tried a soap bar which works well, but only for a week or so.

WD40 works intitially, but doesn't last, and attracts dirt.

Any good ideas ?

Thank you !!

Lubricating the tracks is like oiling the skating rink hoping for
longer coast times. You need to oil the bearing that are riding on
the tracks.

Sounds good. How do you get to them? Aerosol?

Hi,
I wonder why people think WD-40 is lubricant? It's a cleaning solvent.
I'd try little bit of white grease(Luriplate) or squirt of liquid wrench
(Teflon).

I don't care what anyone says, it's still not a lubricant. It is good
for first-pass cleaning of greasy parts, or displacing water from
distributor caps. It is not a good lubricant.
