Unhappy sticking power window

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem: In the last week or so, my driver's side power window is getting "hung up". When I push my window button to auto, so that it opens automatically, it gets hung up about 1/3 of the way down, and the auto mode shuts off. Is there something that I need to clean or fix inside my door that is causing this? Not a huge issue, but I want to fix it before I burn out my p/w motor.
Thanx, OB

Are you saying that if you don't use the auto function, you can get it down all the way?

yes....without auto it will go down......but slows down about 1/3 of the way down.....almost to a stop. I'm sure this will decrease the life on my motor, so I want to fix it now.

Take some WD40 or silicone lube spray and spray the window runs at the front and back of the windows. Usually doing this will help clean out the junk that gets in there and lubes it as well.

so WD or silicone spray where the window rides? so this doesn't involve dismantling the door panel or anything?
Thx, OB

Right. Just roll the window down and spray where the window rides in the channels at the front and back.

Good to hear
It's something that you might have to do every once in a while but it's quick and easy.
