Power slide rear window

I have a 2005 F-350 Lariat with the power sliding rear glass, i jsut got the truck. The power slider is extremely slow on opening and closing (worse for closing). Are there any common issues with this system?

Thanks!

clean the window glides and window well with glass cleaner, then lube the slides extremely lightly with a bit of silicone based lube.

I have the same issue with my 04 F350. I will try mhoefer's advice and post back. May not be for a while, no need to open that window till at least spring.

Read the complete TSB it gives correction instructions or take it to your Ford dealer and give them the TSB number and have them fix it.
