Thanks.

BTW, Last week, I tried opening several windows. One was easy, needs adjustment in, the rest were stuck. None seemed adjusted properly.
Bone tool on the way tomorrow!
I purchased six of the chrome window knobs, and when I went to install them (one setscrew). I hit the "You didn't expect it to be that easy, did you?" factor. The new setscrews are a different size than the old, you can't get to them without opening the windows, yada, yada!
I use the end of a man's pocket plastic comb to open the frameless windows.

What is this "comb" you speak of?

I use one of the white plastic fridge door spacers when the windows are stuck. Just slip it under the edge of the glass and gently work it around. The most popular treatment for the gaskets is "303 Protectant", which also protects the gaskets from UV rays. Be sure to clean the inside perimeter of the glass as well! The glass picks up residue from the gasket, which contributes to the stickiness . . .

Bingo . . . the 303 Protectant comes in a very handy wipe also, which produces no overspray, is lightweight, and easy to store horizontally.

303 Protectant mentions all over AirForums, including the recent threads linked below:

Poppers, credit cards, caulking tools . . . all over the place.
