My passenger side used to do that until I replaced the regulator- doesn't do it any more...

I also saw where someone used a light dusting of Talc powder or baby powder on the seal but it doesn't last long.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Every time I roll my drivers side window down the outside rubber folds down with the window. You can hear the motor struggle to lower the window.

I'd like to know this as well, since my drivers side window recently started doing that. My passenger side used to do that until I replaced the regulator- doesn't do it any more...
It's funny, I tried rain-x before my passenger side regulator broke... It didn't really help. It also only did it when it was fairly hot outside 80-85 deg. and above
Well it is probably aging window seals and so on. I have suggested RainX and polish the window with old newspaper. Roll window down and get some dry silicone spray and coat the window seal inside where it meets with the window. Let it dry and then try it out.
Happening to me too. I tried some dry lubricant (not silicone based) and all it did was leave a yucky white coating all over.
Might try the Rain-X thing next.

Well, the angle of attack of the glass against the seal is adjustable. There are 4 plugs under the bottom of the door. IIRC, the 2 inner most ones reveal a nut that fixes the regulator to the bottom of the door. The threaded stud from the regulator is in a slot in the door. If the stud is pushed to the far outside, the glass is tighter against the seal. Pull the stud more towards the inner side of the door and there is less pressure, so it will not bind against the rubber as much.
