Loud Window

I have an 04 F150 and the driver's side window is starting to squeel as it rubs against the seals in the door. Is there anything that one can apply to those seals that will take care of the problems and won't get all over the window? Or should I start looking to replace the seals?
 
It can be dirt buildup in the channels, needing lube, or worn out channels.
Try to clean them out with a rag and a screwdriver, dragging the rag around the channel. Get some silicon spray at a big parts store like Pep Boys, spray that on there.
But if the channels are rubber, especially, the heat will harden them and they may drag on the window, so the lubing or cleaning may not help.
Also, the window regulators wear out and get sloppy and let the window drag, or the motor (if electric) may be getting old and about to quit. Sometimes you can adjust the regulator inside the door (bolts usually have slotted place on the regulator), but usually it needs replacement if that is what is allowing the window to lean in the door.
