Silicone spay lube would be best, after using compressed air to blow out
the dust from the felt.  I took my door panels off and moved the glass up or
down to reach as much of the vertical tracks as possible.

I don't think WD-40 would be a good idea, I beleive that it would tend to
attract more dirt than ever, and make it worse in a short amount of time.
