need help with window motors

I thought i had posted somewhere about this but i cant find it anywhere. My windows are slow going down and up. the driver side is a little faster than the passenger. The passenger actually got stuck one day. So what do i need to to about this problem? With winter coming around I dont want it to get stuck on me.

You could try lubricating the window runs (channels that the glass rides up and down in) with a silicone spray lubricant. Dan.

I lubricated the runners, and sprayed some in the area where the cable is. I did notice that the motor was getting hot when i rolled it back up. I guess im just going to have to put a new motor in it. Anyone know where i can get a pair for a cheap price?

If the motor is getting hot, it could be because the regulator is binding up or not moving smoothly or freely. I would check out the regulators before throwing a couple of motors at it. Dan.

ok stupid question but where are the regulators? And if both windows go slow could it be in the wiring? or did they both wear out the same?

first thing is check the battery terminals making sure they are clean then lube the glass run channels. thru the years i have always relied on wd40 i have been doing glass for 30 years and wont install a roll up glass with out spraying some lube in the channels

There is a TSB for aligning the window in the runners. Basically it says to loosen up the clamps at the bottom and push the window into the rear channel.
