You could be right since I havent done a ton of research yet but the clearance of the body note seems off. If the windows freeze and dont roll down the car door still opens and closes just find so I dont think it is a clearance issue. I have been reading its an air vent think that prevents a pressure build up when closing the door. In other words it allows air to escape the car before sealing by the window going up. I still have to read more into it but those are prelim results. It would be silly if it were a clearance issue cause that would mean if the motor fails or the window is frozen, window wont seal.

As you put it, just add some sort of lubrication around the seals to avoid damage
