Guys, spray some armour-all into the window slides(or some type of lubricant?) and will make your windows go up and down quicker.

The correct product for your window guides is a product called DRY GLYDE spray in the grooves.If you use a wet product all that does is collect dust,Also remove the door pannels and lube the moving componates of the window regulator. Cheers Marty

Is there an easy way to take it apart and clean it yourself without breaking it?

Yeah you just have to carefully trim the 5 or 6 tabs on the back where they look like they are melted/glued with a sharp knife to free them and then the surround will pop off. Clean the contacts with some electrical cleaner and maybe turn them 180deg before putting them back in
