Power windows slow

[lromjue]

2001 Sierra xtend., cab/short bed,

L & R cab windows have never been overly quick/fast to close. Seems to have become even slower over the years................ "like me,too". Does anybody have same problem? Seems as if it may be doing some additional harm??????? Is there some solution other than just never rolling them down/up?????????????????

 

Thanks to all you mechanical experts! Much obliged for NE help. larry

the motors get tired, and also the window guides can get crap in them so the window doesn't slide so easily.

It;s really easy to take apart to see what is going on. I was nervous to take it apart and was very happy that it is so easy, The regulators are easy to change, you may not need a motor, just clean it. Give it a go.

I've got one that will roll all the way down but not all the way back up so the motor must still be good right?  Do you feel that just cleaning it up and lubricating it will do the trick?
