But, once they get started they move easy until you close them and try to open again. Seems like some kind of hardware alignment problem. What year is your TK? Does anyone else have this problem?

You need to clean the tracks, there's no alignment issues, nothing but dirty tracks. I would not use silicone. I use a damp soft cloth, wipe it thru the channel, a popsicle stick will help too. Its amazing the stuff that comes out of there. Clean the weep holes while your at it too. And you will be good as new.Happy travels...Melinda 2011 27' MB named "Tiglax" (Aleut for eagle) http://wovenjourney.blogspot.com

I have also had good luck with Boeshield T-9 Spray Lube, a spray used for marine and aircraft applications. It is a long lasting, anti-corrosive, dry lube that leave a thin waxy coating. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=16987&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=50218&subdeptNum=50268&classNum=50272 Vacuuming the track first, to remove built up dust and dirt, is a good idea. For really bad cases, the lower track can be removed to clean up thick build ups. Hosing the track can also help remove the dirt the accumulates under the track, plugging the water drain holes.Larry
