Angry Second power window motor going out.

One day I'm coming home and I roll my driver side window down and it wouldn't go back up. So me and my father replaced the window motor and now about 1 year later the new window motor is starting to show the same symptoms it did a year ago. It goes up very slow and sometimes the window will stop going up and I will have to go down and then back up to get it unstuck. Something else must be eating these motors up, my passenger side motor works fine and I have never had a single problem with it. Yet it seems I'm about to be on the my 3rd driver side window motor with this car. Any idea on what could be causing these motors to die out so quickly?

Re: Second power window motor going out.

Did you lube up all the channels that the rollers go into? I used moly grease(like for wheel bearings etc) to lube up all my tracks... I tried white lithium grease but it seemed to slowly wear off after while... If they are dry, it will just make the motors have to work that much harder.
