every time I grease the truck , I also unlock the slider and brush a small amount of copper coat on the slide lock teeth....never had a problem....yet !
Lube the slider with dish soap. Oil attracts dirt and turns into a gummy, sticky mess that makes it worse over time. dish soap is slippery and when it gets gummy, just hose it off with water and start over with new soap. works waaaaaaaay better than any oil base product, and cheaper too.
