Hey Guys,
I am a future Ti owner, hope to be closing on a car this week.
Is there a parts list of "while you are in there" to replace all these sliders and clips with part numbers?

I'm a long time BMW guy, race an E30 M3, restored an E30 M3 BTCC car,,, but this Ti window business is scaring the crap out of me.
I can see myself now going to crank windows LOL.

If there is a parts list of all these breakable / replacement parts it would be great to purchase them preemptively and have in hand for when it does break (sounds like they all do).

Also, is there any PM one can do to prevent this if it has not yet happened?
Obviously it seems cleaning the hardened grease out and re-greasing is step 1.
If nothing is bent, and say its never popped yet is there anything else?
thanks
jimmy p
