having problems with my electric windows.the both go down fine but are really slow going up.the passenger one stops half way up and the drivers one stops about two inches from the top.i have to help them the rest of the way buy pushing them up lightly.any ideas on how to sort them out?

its a really common problem. the only way to properly cure it, is buying a new motor.
