Default Different Window Problem - Slow Rolling Down

It was very hot and I was parked outside all day. When I got in the car and tried to roll the window down it was very slooooow. I noticed that the gasket at the bottom seemed to be rubbing against the window more than usual and even started to fold over as the window slooowly went down. I figure it was something related to the heat, rolled it back up and left it alone until I got home. At home, I tried again (car was much cooler) and it was still slow.

Anyone know what's going on? Will this go away? The window was a bit dirty, so would it just be a matter of washing it back to smooth, clean glass?

The dirt will create friction and fold the rubber seal as it goes down. Wash your car!
