Q-tip and swab the inside of the upper and rear window channel with any silicon lubricant. I use a VERY OLD (1970s) bottle of silicon emulsion from GM. This keeps them free and sliding well.
Bump, I've been meaning to look into this issue and found this thread on search. I'm also getting the sticky windows and resedue line on all of my windows in the summer and winter. Does the q-tip/lube trick on the window channel work pretty well for those that have tried. Does it also leave a resedue?

even if it does leave a residue you're only applying it to the very edge of the window, so you won't see it with the window all the way up, or all the way down

The tint only has a chance to move during the curing process. Once it is fukky cured it wont move around, unless its a bad job
ive had my tint on for 3 years, and the window has been sticking for 2.

Just keep the windows clean or rub some grease or lubricant on the edge

Thought I was the only one with this issue. Both of my front windows must have loose guide clips as well, they want to tilt forward until they get to the very top of the door.

I have looseness as well. I can see that the whole glass has a forward and backward shift when going up and down
and during some days the window would stick so bad the motor was not powerful enough to bring the window down at all without a little push on my part

My passenger side is most noticable because the windows were tinted early on, and now when fully up there is an 1/8th inch space of clear glass on one side
