If your power windows are running slow, take the cheap route first before anything else. Take the door panels apart and regrease the window tracks, both inside and outside of the track where the metal window frame makes contact. I used hi-temp brake caliper grease (dark grey grease) on my window traks when they were running slow before and it worked great! They still run like new even after 2 years.
If that doesn't do the trick, then most likely you'll have to replace the window motor(s).

If the window motor(s) aren't responding at all, check the fuses first. The other checks are a little more difficult to perform because they require a voltometer.

I actually had a window switch on the door panel go bad on me once. The window would go down, but not up. Happened at a bad time too, during a snowstorm! :mad:

Hope this helps.
If there is anything I forgot, or better tips out there, please post them.

Like other people have said, this is a really common problem on f bodies. this is because of the lack of a window frame and because the doors are fiberglass and everyone closes the doors by pushing on the window!!!
Anyways ive replaced both motors on my car and its really not that complicated, unless you have large hands, cause its a tight fit. even after i replaced them, both sides were still slow! lube helps of course and maybe an alt. upgrade.

i drilled a small hole in the top of the window motor on my passenger side and put in some gear oil then siliconed the hole back up. and the window now works great so far 6 months later. steve

Re: power passenger window slow?

i just replaced both my motors with new ones, the passenger side, totally died, wasnt too difficult, anyways, does anyone know if theres an aftermarket company that makes more powerful/faster motors, or if theres a way to make ours work better?
