    Spec D headlights (garbage, Do not buy) replaced bulb with H7 80W Osram Off Road bulb so I could actually see. The lights they send do not put off any light at all and it's impossible to see anything at night... TOYO Open County AT III's (smooth ride, not loud) with Matte Black 17-In. TRD PRO Wheels Plasti dipped emblems and Bull Bar (Lasted about 2 years, need to spray them again)
    My power windows are struggling to go down on Both sides (2 door access cab)...
    it is sucking the rubber piece on the inside of the door down with the window.
    I tried to grease it with some Armor All, but it almost made it worse where More of the rubber goes down. no issues going up. The outside rubber piece does not move.

    Clean the window tracks. Toss the ArmorAll. Use a silicone spray in the tracks.

    It’s called the Inner Belt Moulding.
    I’d probably replace it as to fool with it.
    If I were to try anything, I’d probably try some silicone spray.
    But that will probably leave a film on the window. I personally, would replace it.
    I believe they can be found for around $30.00

    I've got some Liquid Wrench. is this okay on tinted windows?
    You say 'spray on the tracks'... where are the tracks located?

    The 'tracks' are the little groove things that steer the window.

    The tracks are on the left and right side of the window.
    #3 and #4. You’ll need a straw on the nozzle to get to them.

    You might take a credit card or something and hold the trim up.
    Then roll the window down to confirm if it’s the moulding or not.
    Obviously, don’t use an important credit card, or drop it inside the door.

    I can’t help with what to use on tinted windows.
    I don’t know what will and won’t damage them.

    If the rubber is sticking to the glass, do a good glass cleaning (slide you hand on the glass to check) then talcum powder the glass and rubber.
