my windows move down very slowly and the driver side wen it gets low i have 2 pull it up by myself ( they are power windows ) and its really anoying because if im driving and it starts to rain i have to stop on the side of the road and pull it up myself. the previous owner said he replaced the motor twice and that isnt the problem so i dont know what to do.

Hi dragonslaya112,

Check the door glass run channels.

Get some silicone or wax spray and apply to the runchannels and try operating again. You might need to replace the run channel if it is worn too badly or contaminated with oil based lubricants.
