Power window motor-bad?

Im having a problem with my power windows going up and down slow as hell, I think they've been getting slower over the past couple of months. Has anyone had this problem? Thanks

I WD40 the tracks every time I wash the car. Its night and day difference and lasts for a week or so.

Facing the door from the outside, roll the window down about 6 inches and spray WD40 in the little track that's exposed from behind the glass. Open and close the window and repeat as desired.

I had that problem but I just took it to the dealer and they cleaned them somehow and they have been going down fast now for over a year. They cleaned them for free

HAHAHAHAHA I had the exact same thing happen to me yeasterday, window got stuck half way down and then would not move. Had to replace the window regulator, which is a stupid thin cable attached to some plastic thing that it eats through slowly. Acura dealer price = 269.03 including parts and 2 hours labor (bs if you ask me). Luckily my extended warranty covers it, but I think that I still lose the $100 deductible I have on it That money could have gotten me pulleys or shift adaptor and plugs
