Hmm does the rest of the windows go up/down pretty fast?? It may be that your window is about to go off track soon. I remember my driver side window started to roll up and down really slow before it stopped moving, and it wasnt the regulator, it was the window track. The wires got stuck or somehow got tangled up and wouldnt let the window move down. I too have a problem with my passenger side window going up once the sun goes down. It goes down fine, but its hell to get it to come bak up, once it gets cold outside and the sun goes down.

There is a TSB in regards of the window molding causing slow window operation. But with the age of the cars it has either broken up to no longer cause the problem or it has been replaced already.

So you should check the window motor, regulator, window switch(es) or the wiring if it gives 12/14V.

Replace the motor, a healthy one will compensate for the friction issue.

If you are going to replace the motor, you can usually get a new regulator with a motor for pretty cheap on ebay. That's what I did when my regulator broke. The motor was pretty slow, anyway, so I just bought the whole thing.

If you have recently replaced the regulator, then just get a motor. If your regulator has never been replaced, you might as well do it if you have a little extra $$, because it will fall on you at the worst possible time -- usually when it's cold, raining and you have nice clothes on or no jacket.

Before you get into replacing the items in the TSB, try this first - a much easier fix (if it works for you). This was in an old post by Forum Guru Matt93SE:

Use dry Teflon spray lubricant such as PB Blaster TDL Dry Lube. Spray the window's side guides going as far down into the door as you can reach. My PB Blaster can didn't come with one of those small spray tubes, but the one off a silicon spray can fit just fine, allowing you to go farther down into the door. Operate the window raising it 4-5 times to spread and 'work in' the lubricant.

I had the 'slow window' syndrome on both of my 1990 Maximas - for me, this did the trick on both cars.

If that doesn't work, pull the interior door trim and check the alignment of the window regulator track for binding, and make sure the plastic carrier cable mount isn't broken or ready to break. Spray more of the Teflon lube down there while you've got it open.

I'd do both of these before going with the TSB recommendation OR replacing the drive motor either one.

I think I solved my problem, I went to the junkyard today and got another circuit board for the passenger side window and swapped out the old one, and it seems to go up and down really good now. Before, I had to hit the master switch button at least 50 times before it would decide to roll up. It would get stuck at the worst times, like when its really cold, or raining or im getting ready to park it somewhere, and Ive got alot of electronic stuff in the car lol!!
