Give it a try, I found an off brand silicon based lube spray for $4-5 at Meijer and it worked great. I actually did all 4 of the cars in our family (3 grand Prix's and one Ford Explored... Boo), and they all seem to go up and down much quicker.

i looked at meijer and didn't find anything. my windows are a LITTLE slow as well...what was it exactly?

Actually, now that I think about it, I bought the stuff at Home Depot. It is called Blaster SL Silicon lube. The cost was $2.97.
