I figured I'd formalize how great this stuff is. If your windows stick and you take it to the dealership, this is the stuff they use to lube the run channels. It's a silicon grease which is amazing stuff. Honda part number 08798-9013. A 100g tube will run you about $14 or so, and not all dealerships will carry it. But it's worth it. The dealership applied a really thin layer of this to my window run channels and got them moving like new again and thats been several months ago and they still are working great. Many on the yahoo group have reported this is the only thing that will keep them working for any length of time. If it were only for that purpose i'd have still bought a tube, but it gets better.
Another use I've found thanks to the S2000 forums is for all the weather seals on the car. And if you get a tube put on some latex gloves because you don't want to get this stuff on your hands. I spread just a little tiny bit, just enough to coat the weather seals on the doors and rear hatch. I also did the ones under the hood for good measure. Now I wasn't expecting the benefits of it. I was just applying it to help extend the life of the weather seals. Well the next day all the seals had plumped up a little bit and were like brand new (not that they were old before) again! The sound the doors made when closing is slightly different and the seal is much better. The main benefit came with the rear hatch. Most of the rattles from it moving around went away!
The S2000 guys use this exclusively on all the moldings and seals, especially on the convertible tops. Apparently Honda classifies those as general wear and tear items and won't warranty them so it helps prevent cracking or tearing. I was impressed for what I thought was just silicon grease. It's expensive for silicon grease, but it'll go a long way and is well worth it in my opinion. If you are having window run channel problems get a tube, you'll apply it a lot less often, or if you want to keep those seals like new it will do that too. It's well worth it.
