Default Stuck windows fixed for $13

if your windows get stuck when going down or back up, try using 303 Automotive Protectant. With the window all the way up, spray along the bottom of the affected window on both the inside and outside. I let it sit for about 15 seconds, wiped down the excess spray on the trim of the car, and instantly the window began working as normal. Goes up and down without issues, when previously it would get stuck when it hit the liner going back up.
I was under the impression that I'd have to take apart the door panel and re-align the window into the liner. But this worked perfectly, and for only $13 and less than a minute of effort.

thanks to this video for the idea:

303 is awesome stuff!

Your amazon link doesn't seem to work.

I picked up a tube of Shin Etsu (silicone grease) from my local Honda dealer and lubed up my window rubber seals and gasket and it worked like a charm! Dealer wanted $150 just to look at it! DIY for the win!!
