Electric windows that drag (mainly through lack of use) can cause actuator failure, which is around £400 per door to fix at the dealer!!

Silicon spray can also be used on door seals and anything plastic or rubber to good effect. Great results from spraying the rubber cups that hold the engine plastic covers to the top of the engine. Spray sparingly once a year and the cover will pop on and off as if made of butter. Any squeaks from hard plastic trim rubbing is also eliminated after a squirt and a day or so for the spray to dry and be at its most effective.

While my sunroof was working normally, I did spray the seals and workings as best I could. At the very least the silicon will keep the rubber in good condition for longer and reduce friction when the panel starts opening.
