I think I found the source of the "tightness"
The guide-rails don't seem to be parallel where the glass mounted brackets slide.As the window went up past halfway the brackets were bottoming out on the rails and dragging. I pulled the brackets off one at a time and cleaned the sludge that was white grease off.I found remnants of a silicone grease inside the brackets so that's what I used when I put it back together (Sil-glyde).I adjusted the brackets in a hair and the problem seems solved
