I lowered the window and discovered the track you mention is on the
outside. I applied the silicone spray and operated the window up and
down through several cycles.

It is much better.

But, the motor labors about half way down (only) but gets the window
down. It elevates without any noticeable labor. What might that be?

Also, I found a DRY lubricant, PTFE-based, aerosol can. Would that be
compatible with the materials it would come into contact with for this
problem?

Does your website have a snail-mail address for contributions? I do not
do EFT's.
