Put some silicone or lithium grease in the tracks and see if that fixes the issue. After awhile dirt and grime get caught in there and slow it down. The window regulator could be going bad also if is having a hard time trying to go up.

Thanks gents. My drivers side does the same when it's cold. Not sure if yours does this too but the door panel even starts to bulge in towards the drivers seat slightly when this has happened... I have taken the panel off and looked at it, but couldn't find anything. Good to hear I am not the only one.

Thanks again.

The other night it was extremely cold here (about 15 degrees) and both my windows didn't want to move at all. Took it into the shop today and they started working again. turns out that moisture on the lower window seals got in and froze up my windows. If you can find a warm place to work on the car, let it sit for a couple of minutes and then try rolling down the windows. After that get some towels and wipe the inside of the seals and you should get some water and maybe even some dirt there. If that doesn't help then you need to grease up the window tracks.

I'm sitting here thinking, "15 degrees?" Why would you have BOTH windows down?

*Back from the dead* My driver side windows doesnt really work when its raining or humid out. It moves very slow. On dry days it works perfectly. Anyone got a clue what can be causing this?
