I have already disassembled the doors, lubed but have found that the problem in the 95 Mazda Gallant is the drag in the “fuzz” channels rather than the lifting components.  
  
  
  
 What is the best (and long lasting) way to “lube” the channels?

If a lube such as WD40 is used, the guides will fill up with foreign material (ie. dirt).

Try a dry graphite compound instead and ensure the guides are perfectly straight.
