Car is a 96ES.

Front passenger window motor is weak. Nearly stops half way up, and not nearly as fast as the other windows. Is this a motor, or something mechanical binding? Window is a little sloppy in track, but so is driver side. I had to replace window switch last year, but this window was weaker than the others before that.

Anyone ever fix a similar problem? How much?

any advice appreciated. thanks

What is a window regulator? I never heard of it.

Is it electronic, or something mechanical. About how much to fix?

thanks

Is it hard to get door panel off? Sounds like I can handle the window motor swap.
Know of any instructions how to remove door panel on CL?

Is motor Lexus specific, or same as Camry?
No Lexus dealers in my area; anyone else sell the regulator?

thanks

10 screws at most. need to take out the master switch there is a screw there. 1 in the vent tube 1 near left middle look a lil bit low and 4 more (maybe) on the bottom
