power window question

When my window gets up, it gets stuck about half way, then i have to push it forward for it to go up the rest of the way.. I tryed greasing the rails inside, didnt seem do do much, I'm thinking the rail might be off centered or somthin. Can someone tell me how to fix or what to do? thanks

I lightly spray the window tracks with aerosol silicone lubricant a couple of times per year. Don't know what type of grese you applied, but if heavy, it should be cleaned off, as it will accumulate dust, and then sprayed with silicone. The glass/tracks can be adjusted, but you should get a manual to help with the adjustments, or maybe someone familiar with the layout can help.

It could be that, or maybe your electrical connections (IE the switches, usually driverside is corroded, or could use a good cleaning) That would help as well.
