Silicone greases within 20 feet of car paint is a huge no no . To me
anyway . Cannot get it off you get it on your hands , ends up everywhere .
Never used in gearboxes to my knowledge .. Ever . Good lubricant for rubber
boat bushing or waterproofing --not gears .
Wheel bearing grease is probably exactly right
grease but has fibers in it which front end grease I think does not . I am not
sure of impact of that , other than wheel bearings are all rolling contact .
WIndow worm gear is sliding contact , as is ball joint . Studebakers had a
special grease for steering maybe ford too . Also sliding worm. But not that
critical in window box . I have seen the white stuff rock hard . But 75 year
old front ends still greasy .
Whatever floats your boat ....!

I'm not a fan of either suggestions stated below. I
use an orange, silicon-based lubricant called Syl-Glide, which is
available in a tube. Works great, doesn't dry up like white
lithium grease and isn't messy like wheel bearing grease.

I think the white lithium is somewhat similar to the stuff
they used in the factory back in the day. The effect is pretty much the
same in appearance anyway. They both tend to dry up into a crust over
time. I've found that a more long-lasting grease to use in an application
where you won't regularly go back to re-lube is a viscous wheel bearing
grease.
