i am assuming you meant to say windows in the first part of your sentence...anyway, mine also does this...the passenger is about a half second quicker. i just never really worried about it i guess.

Do you have the auto down on the drivers side window? If so, are you pressing all the way down on the driver's side switch? Maybe the auto down takes longer to engage than just using the regular "hold down" button like on the passenger's window. Just an idea.

Try spray the silicon spary on your window rubber sill.
I think you could buy them for $3~4 bucks from Autopart store if I remember correctly.
These silicon spray will do the wonder on your slow window problem.
It also prevent your motor from burn out.
Think it as a grease for your window.
Hope this helps!

silicon spary dries up quickly and it's not the Armorall we're talking about here.
If you've excessive residue left on the window while you're spraying then use Windex to clean it off.

i think its because the driver side window is used more then the passanger side so the motor is more warn

Yes, it could be... but try the silicon spray.
It's only couple of bucks and I had very good result with this thing!

Funny that these little topics come up and I can relate to them.

My driver side window is slower, up or down, as someone said, probably because of more use of the driver's side.

To apply the "dry" silicone, just spray it on the sides, where the window is tracked.
