drivers side window

im having issues with the drivers side power window. i read the "sticky" but mine acts alittle different it goes down slow and comes up at a snails pace, but lacks about an inch of closing. theres no weird clicking noises but if i just let it rest a few minutes, hit the button and it jumps up like there was nothing wrong. just wondering if the track is dirty or the motor needs some attn? i havent pulled the door panel off yet, so i dont know what it might need. i just thought id ask first

Mine acts up too. I have had trouble with the connection in the switch, but often I have seen it is the motor (regulator) itself. I think that moisture has a big part in ruining the motor over time. Just my 2 cents worth.

Pull the motor and look at the guts, if everythings good check the coil spring(but spring should only effect going up). But i'll bet motor has went south.
