do i need new window motors?

in the winter my windows roll up really slow. why is that? I have replaced the regulators and oiled them but it dosn't seem to help. Do I need to replace the motors or would that be a waist of money?

If all four behave the same way, it points to a common problem.
- check charge voltage, maybe low? (13.8-14.6V). Check supply voltage also from drivers door, from motor connections while running window(s) up... If voltage is a problem, give direct supply from a healthy batt to the motor connector and see if any speed difference.
- connector(s) oxidized in input supply wiring
- grounding points oxidized
- circuit breaker bad at smj (voltage heat loss)
- motors wear down only if constantly used. Rusting/Water is more problematic... Should last 'car lifetime' -if- mechanism is kept well oiled. Needs maint minimum once in 4yrs, depends on where the car sits.... But if already replaced, maybe needs only window guide lubrication?

I agree - window guide lubrication is your problem
