Power windows

I have been having issues with the power windows in my truck as far as them getting stuck and rocking/ cocking as they open. Going up is not an issue. This is in my 2001 F350. The drivers door window will go down but you have to help it, but the passenger side has gotten to the point where it will not go down. I have tried lubing the tracts and adjusting what you can but it seems to me it needs new window tracts to help it go down straight and smooth. Anyone else run into this problem that came up with a cure that maybe I missed.

Had a similar problem with my wife's Plymouth Grand Voyager (don't ask). Took the the door panel off and sprayed the tracks and pulleys with silicone lubricant. Made things a little better and helped for a bit. Eventually bit the bullet and bought a new motor and rack cable assembly (came as one unit). Problem was fixed.

I'm sure that it's not the answer you wanted (or that I did back then either).
