I live in a very old apartment that has incredibly heavy wooden windows. Several of them were brutally hard to get up. A friend said squirt Armor All into the outside tracks (on both sides) only (see red arrow in image), and I was amazed that it worked. The windows really loosened up. The problem is I used the Armor All on two windows that were [i]not[/i] sticky. Those two windows worked properly: I could pull them open to whatever level I wanted and they stayed there. And when I sprayed the Armor All into those windows, the windows would open to say 75% open and above and stay open. But anything below the 75% open level they are in absolute free fall. If they were to fall from that level, I'm sure they would break, so to be safe, I got 5 gallon paint stirrers to prop them up. I'd like to return those two windows back to their original condition of working properly. Is there any way to make them sticky again? Thank you.

Had a new Andersen Sliding Patio door installed on a brick house. It replace a standard door and a bay window so it was a completely new frame in. The door install looks fine, but the door has excessive (in my opinion) play in the track. When closed, the door is tight and solid, no air leaks and no problems. When you open the door though, it "falls" off the weather stripping and makes and audible "clunk" as it hits the guide. It then bounces around in the track as it moves the fully open position. I'd like to get some opinions on whether they think this is excessive or whether they'd be unsatisfied with the door banging around like that. It's a brand new Andersen A-series door and its 8 feet wide. If there is any more information needed then please let me know. I am still working with Andersen and the door supplier, but the contractor who installed the door talked to them and they seem to already be thinking its normal. At this point I am not willing to take that for an answer. This door was too expensive to make this kind of noise when operating.
