TX my driver/passenger windows work slow, Why?

every time i want to close my driver window it goes up slow. goes down fine just up really slow. as far as my passenger window you have to keep pushing the button to go down until it does and goes down fine but goes up slow and only have to push it once. weird? anyone have suggestions???

Not a lot of experience, but I think I'd pull the door panels and get out my multi-meter. Maybe check voltage to the switch and to the motors. If you're not seeing 12v or close to it, check grounds. If you're seeing 12v then clean and lube the tracks and see if that helps. Otherwise the motors may just be getting weak.

aslo window switches tend to get gummy over time and can hinder voltage to the regulators.

Pull the window reg out and clean the tracks... I did and it made mine much better!
Mine would go down with the aid of gravity in an instant, yet struggle on the way back up.
Fixed with cleaning 28 year old gunk out!

Pull out the switches and check to see that they are making contact. If you are not getting proper contact they will not work the intended way. Is the passenger window slow when using the switch on the driver's side? Then I would check the tracks and clean out the junk/lube 'em up.
