Thanks for the info guys, and Ballistic, thanks for the video.
My window is slightly slower than the video...I'm going to take apart the door panels, clean all the contacts, re lube everything and see what happens. Thanks again!

I'm going to clean the tracks with q-tips and silicone spray tomarrow. I'll post the results (and pics) tomarrow.

Glad i'm ditching my windows...I got spoiled by the bimmer...the things will take your head off.
Any chance of using a bmw motor (from some of the new series) to get a much quicker raise/lower rate? After all its just simple mechanics right?

Mine have always been very similar to Balistic's video. I can get them to be faster/smoother for a little while if I spray the tracks with silicon, but that's about what they do.
