Hi there,

It sounds as if the windows are sticking in the Bailey channel, that the felted track thy run in, as a fits off, you can buy a special spray on lube for the window tracks, try that first, if that is not a help you will have to have the trim removed to inspect the regulator for alignment and ease of operation, do this before you burn out a motor.
