Silicone spray, if it runs down out of the channel is easy to wipe away..... I found mine at Home Depot, but most big box stores have it.

I sewed high tensile strength pull tape on each end of the vinyl strip so I don't have to pull on the RDome fabric. With the silicone spray and the tape, it makes it very easy to pull the dome through the channel.

I use wd-40 and have not found it to cause a mess.  I'm 5'6" and haven't needed a ladder to pull/push the r-dome through the channel.   There is only one screw where the vinyl always seems to catch  above the door but I just pull out on the fabric (away from the r-pod) and I'm good to go.  I did grind down the ends of the aluminum channel because it would catch and cut the vinyl strip on the dome as it was being pushed through..
