Lub Sliding Windows

I have a 2006 Monty with some sliding windows that are getting tough to slide open and to close. Any recommend lub material to use in the plastic slide channels?

I've tried the window spray slide lube, purchased from my local RV dealership parts department. After spraying, it takes a few times of opening and closing for the windows to slide easier. But it seems it doesn't last long. I found keeping the track clean, washing it out with soap and water actually performed best for long term satisfaction.

We have a couple of hard to open windows, and this stuff works pretty well, just have to apply it every few months. https://www.3inone.com/products/rvca...rack-dry-lube/

We’ve used dried silicone. It comes in a spray or also as liquid applied as drops. It worked for us.

I've used the 3in1 dry lube that Bob said or any brand PTFE Dry Lube. It doesn't attract dirt and dust as much. I also use the dry lube on the hydraulic tubes and other places, so I already have it on hand.
