Unhappy Slow moving power window

Hey guy's maybe some one can help. My drivers side power window goes down slowwwwww, and sometimes just stops. I don't think it is the motor, it was just replaced 2 yrs ago for the same thing. The funny thing is if it is raining the window works like a charm. Is there anything to lube and if so what is it and what do you use to lube it with.
thanks for the help.

I suggest taking the door panel off and lubricating the tracks(I think its like a round tube) that the glass slides on as it goes up and down. I'd use white grease or maybe wheel bearing lube.

Sounds like the regulator is about to go out.

My wife's Marquis had the same symptoms just before it completely stopped.

Found a new one on Ebay for about $50 and the window works like new.
