Windows rolling up sloooooow

Hi
My driver side window is rolling up veeery slow, i can hear a squeaking noise, sometimes it stops, sometimes it will go all the way up. No problem with going down. Any ideas? looks like theres a tension between glass & rubber. Any lubricants? what do I do?

the window track is dirty.
lower the window, take a wet rag, and rub it up and down in the window track. after it dries, spray silicon spray in the track. DO NOT use something oil based like WD40. roll the window up and down a few times and spray some more in there.
all better

one last thing.
when the window is down all the way clean the rubber at the top of the door where it meets the glass (the hole where the window goes when down). that helps and also prevents streaking of your window

So u dont have to take the pannel off on the door. And the silicone spray will it stain the window or get it dirty.. So all i have to do is roll the window all the way down and just spray that stuff in the door???

no need to take the door apart.
it will not hurt the window. if you do it right it will only be in the track and edge of the window anyway. and thats why i said not to use anything like WD40. it will attract more dirt.
you dont spray it in the door. you spray in in the window track. (SEE PIC ABOVE) i spray it in the top and let it run down

Wow, I need to try this! I just bought some STP Silicone spray the other weekend to replenish my supply (it also works great for shining and lubricating hoses under the hood), I always thought I had to remove the door panels to get in there... this makes more sense!
