16 months old and have never done this....big mistake! My weather stripping (white) is mildewed beyond repair. I wouldn't be surprised the black streaks that appear below the window are from my neglect. I would never have known to go this in-depth had I not watched your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you :)
Excellent video. Next time to make it easier on yourself use peroxide timer let it sit in there for a little bit and then flush it out with water and it will make it a whole lot easier on you.
Excellent Video! Well done. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I didn't know you can pull that interior gasket and clean underneath it. On my todo list.
Way to go, @wayfinder! I've got some real hard to open/close sliding window that I think is caused by messed-up tracks. I've got this project on my "to do" list for the weekend... Good one!
Yes, you can only get better. Pretty good content. So, as it seems, only one-half of the window slides so the second half is static? No option to remove the second side entirely? Even so, it appears the pipe cleaner seems to do the trick.
Thank you for this video! I was never sure about whether the inner flat black track under the windows could be lifted up for cleaning or not. Ours does seem to want to lift out. We are second owners, so maybe it’s glued down by muck? But seeing that you could lift yours, gives me assurance it’s designed to be cleaned under. Where do you buy pipe cleaners?
I think Pipe cleaners can be found at hobby stores, Hobby Lobby, or likely a sewing store?! Schmaybe? Maybe a craft section of Wal-Mart or Target. I ask a good woman and they just appear. :shrug:

Excellent video...amazing how much dirt collects in those tracks. We could not have done this without your video. Much appreciate your work.

Yeah, half the window is fixed. In place.
Thank you!
