1. Lower the glass all the way down and clean the horizontal seals (at the bottom of the window opening) with wet cloth.

2. Spray a lot of silicone spray into the front and rear vertical glass chanel.

3. Repeat the procedure with other windows.

I was talking about those felt-rubber chanels that hold the front and rear edges of the glass. Usually silicone cans cone with tiny tubes, just like WD-40. I do not recomend using WD-40, beacuse it could ruin the rubber in those chanels.
