This gets good reviews http://www.slipit.com/prodsc.html but not used it myself but will be getting some. Non-silicone and used for woodworking as it attracts very little sawdust to gum everything up.
I have not worked on the window mechanism on a GTV6 (there always seems to be more urgent issues) but other types I have worked on responded quite well to cleaning out the rack (not even sure the GTV6 uses one) and re-lubing with water resistant grease. Also, over time, any plastic bushings wear and bind (wiper rack bushings are another example of slow Alfa electrics). Jef (I'm still here too!)

I suspect there needs to be some kind of lube in the window tracks that guide it up. With the least bit of finger pressure helping it along, it seems much happier going up. Is there a non destructive spray I can put on there to see if this is all it needs? On another GTV 6, I changed the motor in the door, so I have an idea of what's inside. Before I go looking in there, it just seems like a 26 year old mechanism that's never been lubed is the most likely place to start.
