Does this not make the edges of your windows all 'lubey'?

No, i used as little as possible, wiping with a cloth after.It's enough to make the seals tacky, but not greasy.

Yeah i think ill do the same. I think the previous owner of my car never used the windows. and as such they dont shut perfectly every time creating a tiny bit of wind noise. Some lube will help them slip in easier i hope. Saying that its worked everytime since the first when i first bought the car.

Yeah, doesn't seem the best design tbh, as its just the glass pressing on some rubber to make the seal.
