Why is the passenger window so slow???

I just bought a new friggin motor not too long ago and it seems like it's really slowing down. Why is the passenger window so wack compared to the driver one. Is it wiring, can you lube anything up???

You can use some lithium grease on the channels/guides.

I recently changed my driver's side motor with a new one from Adv. Auto Parts and seemed to go slower than my GM one.

Just make sure you stay away from the dealer , they installed 2 new motors in mine and when it camme back the window switches were broke and now the driver window gets caught up on something near the top. I had to throw some lube in the rubber part to make it go up ok. And I have to keep applying it.

And yes they are both slow as hell!

I replaced the motor with a GM new part and it did nto go any faster. Then I removed the etire regulator and cleaned it real good and greased it with Lithium. WOrks a lot better now. That old grease gets kind of thick. The next time I replace a motor, I will buy the one that comes already installed on a new regulator. It is not that much more and you get all new rollers.
