Power windows(especially front passenger side) operate very slowly after rainstorms. There is also some sort of sticky film that developes on the inner top part of all the windows where the glass comes in contact with the weather strips. A loud, unsticking sounds comes from the windows when they are first lowered. Tried to clean windows and weather striping with a mild cleanser, but no luck! this problem has occurred on several occasions already.
