Anywhere the rollers or gears move on the rail and any joints that move while the window goes up and down.

Thanks for information but I read that lubricating rails and rollers will grind the windows when it's in operation due to it will dirt by dust and sand
Any idea?

This might be a problem with conventional lubricants on a Baja racer, but the inside of a normal car window isn't that dirty. If it really bothers you, it's the 21st century, go to any bicycle shop and pick up a bottle of dry lube. Mountain bikers have been dealing with the issue of lubrication in really dirty environments for some time.
