Can't open sliding windows in Salon - 1987 Santego 3067
I'm happy to go whole hog and scrape whatever is on the track but want to check if there is something else I'm missing. From what I can see, there is a small brush strip and some sort of rubber on the track.
Should the windows be easy to slide open and close and the tracks require cleaning or is there some other mechanism that I need to account f or
Apologies for lack of picture.

Once the bottle jack support is removed, wouldn't the sag return and cause the window to stick again?

compression issues. If frame is good, Reassemble using butal caulk on out side. do not tighten screws all the way. After one or two weeks tighten screws.
Winter time project, you can also reanodize frame while its out.Check D K Hardware for rubber or felt seals.
