    Power windows slow??

    My driver side window goes up and down like Apollo 11 but my passenger side window creeps like a thief in the night. What’s up with the windows? Do I have to live with this or is it an easy fix like replacing a regulator or something??

    Try lubing things up real good first. Oil all the pivots, grease the gears and hit the felt guides with silicone spray. If that doesn't work, replace the regulator.

    I greased everything and granted, its much better but still takes about 10 seconds to go up and just a couple to come down. I going to assume its the regulator. Thanks fellas

    you can try this, jump the motor to direct battery power and see if it goes any faster. That will tell you if you are gettng a voltage drop thru the relays, switches, and control box or if you have a motor/regulator issue.
