driver side window slow going up
I know this is a boring topic. I did some searching and found quite a few instances of window motor failure.
I'm trying to determine if my motor is failing, or if the glass is getting pinched and it's just making it difficult for the motor. My car has no damage so I doubt the glass is getting squeezed but it was a thought I had.
The window goes down fine, and goes up fine for the first 1/3 or 1/2, then it really struggles.
Do the motors slowly die, or just stop working completely. I bet the motors are pricey.
Anybody had a similar experience?

Try powering the windows with a direct positive and ground, that should help you decide if its the motor or if the window is pinching. You can tap into positive in the fuse box by the gas pedal and just ground a good wire than run the wires to the switch.One polarity makes the window up, reverse the wires and thus reverse the polarity will make the window go down. I am not sure if this makes sense? If not I can probably snag a picture for you tomorrow.

The motors "do" wear out and display slooow action when they are at their end. Usually some are available on Ebay, not a hard install. I did mine and it's been fine ever since.

I have the same issues, except with my passenger side window. When I try to put both windows up at the same time, the passenger window lags way behind. But when I drive it all by itself, it does OK.
Wondering if I should pick up a spare motor just in-case.
