May have been discussed somewhere, & I might just need a lube, but has there been any common issue w/ the windows, namely the fronts, having a tough time in Warmer weather rolling up & down? Sometimes sticking to the point where they would retract the other way due to the resistance
 
Dave, check to see if they are rubbing on the inner rubber pieces inside the door panel. I had to cut a little off the rubber piece inside the door panel to keep it smooth.
 
In the warm weather ???....... I clean-up rubbers in window frame with Tire's clean up stuff ( ArmorAll ..ect..)
..... it worked on my Accord ........ GL..

I honestly never had that problem. But I do slide a rag up in the gap and clean out the sand that ends up in there when I detail the car + can of compressed air. I have that problem where you turn off the car, open up the door and both front windows go down. that is pissing me off, it only happens once and a while (when I'm in a hurry). You might try just a little white lithium grease (something safe on rubber) put some on the window edges cycle the window a couple times and wipe away any remaining grease. Or maybe your window mechanism behind the door panel might need some love too.

Window guy I used to see used spray silicon in the tracks and its worked really well. Have never had to use it on the FX but I used on my last two rides and kept them moving smoothly.
