The lube goes in the "run channels". These are the black-felt-lined slots
that guide the window edges as the window runs up and down.

I should have asked first: Is the window reluctant to lower from ANY
position, or only from fully-closed?

If /only/ sticks at fully-closed, then it's sticking in its channel at the
very top (and the angled part that meets the windshield). That would be
where the silicone spray would be administered.

If it's sticking in /any/ position, then the run channels on either side
are where the lube should go.

If lube is applied with no success, then start looking more deeply at the
problem.
