Mine is doing exactly the same, it comes down fast and on the way back up is getting slower!!!

Also my door open button is no longer working on the drivers door so I'm having to use the emergency release...

Any ideas on an easy fix ????

The multi-plug connector behind the trim panel seems to give some problems, mostly due to water ingress, maybe your first thing to look at.

Slow windows may be something as simple as drive mechanism and channels need lubricating.

Hope this helps

I would agree with Paul, try the multi plug connector.
Take the door trim off ( few allen screws in the side and underneath, and it comes away. You'll see the connector. Also check that nothing is interfering with the travel.
