Mine is the same like yours. Rears are good.
Passenger front is the slowest, takes fo-ever...
and driver front is slightly faster, but still slower than what my old 02' duramax was.
I'm thinking of removing the door panel one day to have a look see...

I forgot to note that the passenger one makes a knocking noise when I'm rolling it up. like quick knocks...

The windows in my truck work fine. But I've had a Mustang with slow windows so I sprayed some silicone spray lube in the felt tracks and weatherstrip which helped quite a bit.

Those windows can be "aligned" but I'm not sure how. Maybe a body-shop tech can chime in here.

A buddy of mine had that problem on his 03. Dealer replaced something (motor i guess) and now it's as fast as the others.

And mine passenger side front is the slowest too. I the the rears are the fastest for me too.

Front passenger window slow here too!

I was also planning on either taking a look or taking it to the dealer. I heard before that one was not assembled properly and that made it slow.

Yep.... same here

Front - Passenger window is slow and kinda stalls out half way down. When I take it in I'm going to ask em to see if they can align it.

Same here on the passenger side front window. It comes down ok till about halfway, then seems to slow down for a few inches then picks back up. Does the same thing on the way up. I had a 2000 Dakota that did the same thing. I opened my door panel the other day but I didnt want to remove the plastic water barrier. It is a plastic guard, that is attached to the door with a black sticky tar like substance. It looked like it would have been a mess to get off and probably would not have gone back on great. Without removing it, you cant acces the door tracks.
I'd bring it to the dealer but I'm afraid they wont put it back on or will tear it getting it off.

I had the same problem. The passenger side being slower than the rest. The problem was that the plastic part of the mirror was causing to much pressure on the glass. I shaved some off and now everything works just fine.

I have the same problem. I came from a Ford, and I just thought Dodge windows were slower. The front passenger window is slower than all others.
