Some of it is, yes. The rest is inside.

Possibly the part of the track that you can't get at with the spray
because it's inside the door.

Sometimes hangups like this are due to worn parts, but the passenger-
side usually gets quite a lot less wear than the driver's side, so wear
is probably unlikely.

It's possible the regulator's horizontal track is dry of lubricant, but
you can't see that unless you start taking the door apart.

I think you'll need to remove the interior door trim panel and rain-
protector sheet and visually observe the window's travel up and down.
Repeated ups-and-downs while watching carefully will either solve the
problem through lubricant distribution or reveal the source of the
hangup. Plus this will allow you to spray that part of the run channel
that's hidden inside the door.

Teflon works about as well as silicone, I've found. I forgot about PTFE,
otherwise I would have suggested that as well.

Thanks for the offer. Every bit helps. You can send contributions to the
address given in the Whois info in my site's DNS records.

Now if there were some way to donate more hours for each day, I'd be
better able to apply all the site updates I have lined up...
