P10 power window problem

Jul 15th, 2003, 12:18 PM

Hey,

I now drive a 96 5sp P10. This was a replacement for the 91 I crashed a few weeks ago. So here's the question, the passenger side power window on my new car is very sluggish when rolling up. Obviously it gets slower if another window is also being rolled up simultaneously, but even discounting that, it’s unnaturally slow. Is there a repair, modification, or something I can do to bring it back up to speed?
Now the reason I mentioned the 91 is because it also had a window problem. Though probably unrelated, the old G's windows would roll up very slowly when wet. If the window was wet and rolled all the way down, then it would not come back up at all. This usually meant waiting for it to dry, or trying to force it by hand. Since Seattle is not a very dry city, good windows are a must. I don't know if the two problems are related... any ideas?
