    In my old VR, I had the same issue with 2 of my windows – turns out the motor that drives the window mechanism was just about dead, purchased a complete set of new window regulators and replaced the lot, nice fast windows again.

    Also doesn’t hurt to use something like Inox to lube all the joints of the mechanism.

    I found also that you need new gaskets or a thin washers n silicone where the motor stator mounts to the mechanism so that the worm drive meshes properly with the gear inside. Mine went faster once they lined up correctly

    I pulled my regulators and rebuilt them. Pretty simple pieces that I was terrified off until I gave it a go. Over time they gunk up.

     

    Also, don’t be surprised if the wiring in the door- especially the drivers- has given up after almost thirty years of flexing as the door opens and shuts.

    What are you door felts like? With age the wear off the felt and the rubber grabs on the glass

    I know the threads over a year old. but. silicon spray on the felt runners works well for a quick fix.
