Anything with rubber seals - windows, doors, or the sunroof - benefits from an occasional lubrication with silicon spray. I spray a bit into a clean cloth and then wipe down the rubber surfaces... trying to spray surfaces directly just gets silicon everywhere. And it smells funny for a while. Roll the windows down, open the sunroof, open the doors, etc. and wipe down the rubber parts. Silicon spray is available at pretty much any auto parts store. It also works well as a lubricant for some hinges, for windows in your house, etc. Don't use it on locks though; use the small tubes of dry graphite lubricant for locks. Squeeze the tube and blast some graphite powder into the lock, then insert the key and rotate it back and forth a few times. Wipe the key off before you put it back in your pocket though! This really helps folks that deal with winters.
