We had a similar problem on our last (Swift) caravan.
The sun had caused the rubber to start breaking down and nothing we tried to stop the sticking worked.
Tried a variety of cures such as candle wax, vaseline etc.
It got so bad that to open the window we had to run a blunt knife around the seal to get it open.
We ended up buying a length of the rubber and redoing the seals ourselves.
Hopefully though, you won't have this problem.

All the other windows open and close without any signs of sticky seals.
Guy at dealers recommended cheap furniture polish.
I thought of talcum powder or chalk dust as chalk is used on rubber inner tubes.
Or maybe beeswax?
Before I cover it with something that may perish the rubber, any suggestions on what is safe to use on rubber.
Thanks
Autoglym vinyl and rubber care spray from Halfords.
Use it on our window rubbers and it is excellent. Lots of other uses. Particularly on our shower doors at home as they have tiny wheels that are difficult to get to.
