Suggestions for sticky window

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any suggestions to prevent the window to stick to the door rubber seal in the cold mornings?

Should I apply some WD40 or anything else?

Thanks

We don't have snow here but I use grease on my window seals every few months. I have a "first gen" so there is window indexing issues where the windows keep rubbing the door seal and eventually it destroys them. Also messed up my tint.

No snow here either. But I also have the window indexing issues. I use ArmorAll. Use it once a month or so and all is good.

3m window channel lube



https://www.amazon.in/3M-Window-Chan...language=en_IN


WD40 would work short term in a pinch (don't use it), but for long term the 3M product will be better for the rubber seal's life.

I tried to post a picture of it but failed. But it's the original protectant. It's been around forever. Keeps your rubber new and makes the interior shiny. Just don't use it on the dashboard unless you like to see dashboard in your windshield.

The baby powder seems like a good idea.

While I do appreciate them trying to give advice, I would not put faith in them having done any research in the long term effects of an evaporating lubricant on the window seal material.

That 3m stuff is a good call. I am wary of Using anything that would damage window tint.

I got some cheap window seal treatment off Amazon a whole ago and never noticed the door seals freezing.

I do however have issues with the window freezing and not dropping until the car warms up. Not sure how to fix that.

Honestly, my main concern with using a sort of grease or lubricant on the window seal is that it doesn't make my window look greasy.
