Is there anything we can put on the windows to make them slide easier?

Thanks

I periodically saturate the tracks with Dry Silicone Spray. Works for me.

Yup, after cleaning the track DRY with a tooth brush (never your own) to remove accumulated dirt and dust.

Somebody on the Forum suggested rubbing the (clean) tracks with wax paper. Seems to keep ours sliding free.

I use a silicone / teflon lubricant. Works great and lasts.
