Hi mate...Might be worth removing the door card and greasing up the windings and the wheels inside the runner to see if that helps...Ziga

Spray silicone grease into the vertical runners and work the windows - job done

I have the same problem and have also done the above. I have to turn off the ventilation fan so there's enough juice. I'm beginning to suspect some connection is corroded or bad. Passenger side runs ok.

My passenger side does it but not all the time...I did hear that if the window goes up slowly then the motor is knackered...However mine has been doing it for 3 years?...Although if i operate the switch with the engine on then its fine..smile

As said silcone spray helps, but also it can be a sign the gears are worn.
