Best grease for window mechanism

I am overhauling the window mechanisms and after i clean the regulators, id like to apply new grease.

I know grease has many new applications...can anyone suggest excellent grease for the window mechanism applications??

Brake Caliper Grease. Any auto parts store will carry..generally has a brush to apply. Won't melt or freeze and safe for the palstic rollers.

Wurth HKS. Hands down the best for mechanical parts, flows in wet then stiffens up.

CRC Red Grease Aerosol. Great stuff! Sprays on as a liquid, then solidifies in seconds to
a thick consistency. Stays in place, doesn't drip and run. Used on my sticking door locks,
sprayed in with the "red straw". Worked super!

03079 -- Red Grease, 11 Wt Oz

White lithium is NOT recommended
