Got a new set of door stop rollers from Mikey 914 rubber to install and naturally while in in there...

Have a spray can of teflon grease. Yellow sticky goo. Have another spray can of silicon chain lube.

What's best for both door handles inside and outside? For the locking rods? For the door stay rollers? The window track and gears (late doors)?

Do you use something else than what I've got?

...and why can't both dooor stay rollers be metal? It's a thought.

I use bicycle chain lube. Just a little bit. More than that and it just gets dirty faster.

They can. I made these exactly like factory. I also do the 911 door stay kit. There are a few other differences, but it utilizes a aluminum roller for both. The main difference is that the 914 they cut costs everywhere they could. I can turn you an aluminum version if you want the cost is $2 more. Just me know. I may just do up a bunch and maybe have an option on these.

Yes, bike chain grease works well.

I use white litheum on all my cars, typically apply it at the end of the rainy season on all the hinges.

So I disassembled the door stay completely. Decreased all the parts. Install the new rollers. I can see why the black nylon wears out. It does not roll. Even greasing the sides and bearing surface of that roller pin it's a very tight fit into the metal framework The arm of the doors stay simply slides on that nylon and it never moves.

Wouldn't it be better if that roller rolled?

Make sure you are using bike chain lube specifically made for dry conditions. The other stuff will just attract dirt and grit and make the parts wear faster.

I do the same.

You can get a tube at the local Home Depot.

I get the stuff in a can and spray it on, then wipe up the residu with a towel.

Wurth HHS-plus work very well and will not attract the dust.
