My driver's side window seal has been gradually pulled out of it's seat. Most likely from not enough lubrication/rubber conditioner being applied. Regardless, it was out so far it was actually creating extra resistance on the window when it rolled up all the way (basically obstructing the path). No amount of lube/conditioner would have helped me it at that point
Not sure if it's related but the window started to malfunction. Could roll the window down but not up. Only the "auto close" function would close the window, but you'd have to hold it. Nothing worked while the door was open. Couldn't control the passenger side at all.
I had the stealership "re-seat" the window seal and fix the window control issues. I assume the service guy didn't leave the window cracked to let the seal dry properly so needless to say it's much better but still not seated properly. Still rubs and I can see this problem happening again in the future
TL;DR: Take care of the window seals. I can understand how failure to lubricate can cause it to be pulled out of it's seat, then causing extra resistance for the window when it rolls up all the way. Wish I had more info of what was done to fix it, the guy at the dealership wasn't able to answer any of the questions I asked.
Luckily it was repaired under warranty, just relaying my experience because something stupid like this can burn a hole in your pocket if you aren't covered.
