Door pull handle grease

[2DR22Bronco]

I was washing my Bronco yesterday, and lately in my area (PNW) the pollen has been real bad and was really in the window seals and by the door handle pulls.

I was pulling my handles out some to wash under them. I can see there is grease in there when it's pulled forward and out. I would think in time I would want to reapply more grease to that area.

I did search the forum search page but did not see anything pop up of discussion regarding this.

What grease would be recommended? Does Ford have a part # or grease type for this?

Thanks

I haven’t noticed any lubricant in the door handles but for the top & window seals, I have used Sil-Glyde on Jeeps for decades and it works well.

Is it silicone or lithium based?

Lithium

Wow expensive stuff. ($53 with shipping)

Cheaper than having handle issues later down the road though.

Thanks again guys!

That's a much easier price to swallow for that type of product, and Lucas is definitely an accepted name brand in this space, but that particular Amazon listing has a couple red flags for *me*. The product title says it's 8 quarts (OK, simple typo because the *picture* of the product is clearly labeled 8 oz) but then the listing also says it's 256 fluid ounces. Could be fine and just a really sloppy 3rd party reseller but unless somebody lives in the deep boonies I'd think just swinging by a local auto parts store. Just did a search and the NAPA a few miles from me has multiple white lithium grease options in stock . . . including that Lucas 8 oz for about a buck more than the Amazon listing.

It's a pretty common product, should be at HD, Ace, Loews, etc. as well.

Shipped by Amazon, though. So it should be okay. I have been burned buy third party sellers, but never when it's shipped by Amazon.
