Rubber window trims sticking to window

Rubber window trims sticking to window
I recently had a problem with my Rubber trims sticking to my windows , causing the rubber trim to wedge.
I would just like to share the best solution, which I surprised and found it very practical.
Of course nothing beats silicone spray, but this one again is very practical and economical.
From my research I found out that Talcum powder will do the job. Glass slides best on rubber when treated with talcum powder. I also found out that the rubber trims work best when they are clean and dry.
Hope this will help you guys

I had this problem last summer, so bad that my drivers window wouldn't roll back up without some physical assistance by me pushing it up.
Do not use silicone spray/lubricant! I did and it caused the rubber to begin to crack and slowly disintegrated.
Honda replaced the rubber window track under warranty for me. So far no problems!

Hello
I have the same problem. I bought my 07 Fit in may 2011 and previous owner had front windows tinted. In february 2012 I went on MOT and dude there sad that is prohibited in Slovenia to have front windows tinted and I had to pull down the gray foil. Of course, mounting adhesive stayed on and the windows are all sticky when is hot outside.
I found that nail polish remover will clean off the adhesive.
The problem is how to get under (behind) the rubber trims at the bottom of the window, can I remove the rubber trims somehow.
I pulled them up, but I was afraid to brake something if I pulled to much.
I searched the internet but I didn't know if this (rubber trim) is the right name of the thing. I didn't find anything useful.
Can anyone offer some solution to properly remove the strip of rubber at the bottom of front driver`s window?
This is how it looks:
This black strip of plastic/rubber I want removed:
Thanks for helping me.

I had to take off the door panels to clean sticky adhesive. Now is everything perfect.

As mentioned above, this is what Honda uses to lubricate rubber door trim and sunroof seals.
It only takes a very small amount and you rub it in with your fingers. I have been using this tube since I bought it for the sunroof seals on my '99 EPB Honda Civic Si.
