Sticking passanger window

Anyone got a fix for a sticking window? It's not the motor or regulator or track. The window is sticking to the window seal after a few days. Have to bang on the window to get it to go down.
I tried a little car polish at the top edge of the window & it worked till it rained.
I read to use silicone spray, but that's a mess from my past experiences.
The windows are tinted so it's got to be tint friendly.

Thanks

Rub some baby powder on the rubber seal.

It's the Florida heat that is messing it up. When the temperature in the car rises as the day goes on the pressure forces the window up into the seal. This ended up collapsing the gear system in my regulator. In a couple weeks you will hit a bump and your window will fall down. No, I'm not 100% that this is what will happen to you but what you described is exactly what happened to me. Test your window out in the mid day heat to be sure. My mechanic says to be cautious when putting the window up and to let go of the switch when it is all the way up (not over strain the motor). I'd also suggest spraying the rubber with silicone spray too.

I tried the baby powder & It hasn't stuck since.
It didn't happen on any other car I had, & didn't even happen on my 2 CL's I had before. I think it's just this cars door seal & where the tint edge is. The drivers window never does it either.
