Default HORRIBLE! Window Rubber!

So this just happen to me, while doing my daily driving to work, And i always park in a public parking garage i rolled my window down got my ticket, so far so good i find parking WHOOT! and as i roll up my window it seems slower than usual, i look over to my left shoulder and see the the window getting caught with the rubber seal, around the window! the bottom frame, and i thought it was just that once so i tried rolling it down which was fine, and as i roll it back up it does the same thing! ive repeated it over and over and now it seems to be slight cut on the rubber, window was rubbing way to much! so now i cant roll up my window with the doors closed i have to roll it up then shut the door! is this easyu to fix? Went to a local dealership but they seemed like assholes that didnt care or didnt know anything about s2000 said that i would have to replace my whole top! but its only one rubber piece? any help please? ill be posting pics and a video soon!


UPDATED.

When i roll up the windows after i rolled them down the rubber is indented and pulled up with the window which is casuing the tear

with the window down , doesnt seem like much but its wearing the rubber and tearing a little

Thats waht it looks like when the window is actually rolled up!~!!! please help!

I it were mine, I would put some aerosol silicon spray on a rag and wipe it on the seal. It should make it a bit slicker so it won't grab the glass.

Agreed, Shin-Etsu Grease would be my first step. Even if it does not fix the problem you should still be using it.

Replacement part #10, I believe, on this pic for $40. Link posted incorrectly so copy/paste into address bar.
