Thank for your Ideas and information. I did a little research from the product manufactures and other comparisons. The lithium, silicone and original standard grease. When I removed the door panel it was obvious that the original factory installation was standard grease. Lithium lubricants are typically used on metal to metal parts (springs, gears, hinges) and should not be used on plastic or rubber. Silicone grease and can be used on plastic and rubber parts. The article says the silicone can be used also on car doors to condoms
. Oil should not be used because it will evaporate and become sticky.
I used silicone spray on the radio antena and the metal arms with plastic anchors and guides in the door panel for the locks and used the #2 standard light duty grease on the window guides, rollers and springs. The door locks did not work all the time. Usually the passenger door would not work at all from the driver's door and sometimes could not be unlocked from the passenger's door lock. The window rolls up and down very smooth fast and does not rattle. All of the door locks are working correctly now.
