**Check for Obstructions:** First, make sure there’s nothing blocking the window. Sometimes dirt or debris can get stuck in the tracks. Just give it a good clean!

**Use a Lubricant:** Grab some silicone spray or WD-40 and apply it to the tracks. Just a little bit should do the trick. Move the window back and forth gently to work it in.

**Warm It Up:** If it’s a cold day, the window might be frozen shut. Try using a hairdryer on a low setting to warm up the edges of the window. Just be careful not to overheat it!

**Check the Screws:** Sometimes the screws holding the window in place can get loose. Check if any need tightening. Just be gentle so you don’t strip them!

**Tap It Gently:** If the window is painted shut, you can use a rubber mallet to gently tap around the edges. Just be super careful not to hit too hard!

**Use a Putty Knife:** Slide a putty knife between the window frame and the window to break any paint seal. Just be careful not to scratch the glass or damage the frame!
