My w129 300sl 1992 has the same problem sticking squeaky windows and now scratches on the glass. Are the new rubber seals diff from the original ones? I have sprayed silicone down the runners which helps but the rubber seals and metal trim seem too tight against the glass with no room for manoeuvre.
