Around 2 years after i bought my EF XR8,ihad beenhaving the same problems as you.
Range Ford said they had a fix,which is to mix some product and apply with heavy duty gloves,takes about 20min.
That was around 4 1/2 years ago and have not had a problem since.Gives it some kind of permanent lubrication.
had same problem with my au xr6 took it back to ford they clean the runner s with a cleaner then applied a silicon grease to the runners now they have not caused any problems since.

G'day partsguy. So anyone can just rock up and ask to buy it? My windows were becoming a little recalcitrant so I put in some graphite powder and that helped a bit. I no longer have to pull them up with my fingers.
How do you apply it? Just smear some in the rubber window guides or do you have to pull the door part? Last time I pulled my door apart I snapped the plastic rod that connects the lock button at the top of the door to the lock mechanism. :sad:

Im pretty sure that the ford lube is NOT available to purchase to the public. Its around the $100 mark anyway!!!
You may find that some ford dealers will lube windows for free. Its just a case of putting the window all the way down, squeeze the lube into the channel and onto the rubbers where the glass runs. Sometimes a squirt of CRC or equivalent will AS WELL as the lube helps to disperse it.
The best thing about this stuff is the more that u use it the better the window gets.
BTW GHIA - it does not affect tinted windows at all:s6:
Here is an illustrated version for those who missed it:
