windows sticking

We bought a 2012 Kodiak 263rls, and it has the seamless windows, every time we try to open the windows I have to go outside and pull on the window to break the seal so they can open. Is there anything I can put on the gasket to stop them from sticking like that?

For rubber gaskets 303 works well. Keeping the track clean from the debris that collects in it also helps to make for a smoother sliding window.

I use a talcum power like baby power on all the seals for the windows and slides a couple of times a year or as required depending on rain to prevent the sticking and potential ripping.

A light coat of silicone spray wiped on will work too, along with lubing the tracks.
