    I have a two door GTP, and the passenger window never fully goes up. I'll sometimes have to keep hitting "up", then "down" until it shimmy's up there. If i just hold the up button, it goes up really fast then slows down till halfway, then completely stops. What's wrong here?

    Regulator, sticky track, or switches need cleaning. I'm leaning towards the first two.

    ^^ what he said.. Only other thing I've seen is the rubber weather stripping gets messed up. Have someone else roll the window up while and make sure it's not catching anywhere.

    Lube up the felt guides in the window track and see what you get before you break the regulator. Sounds like its dry and grabbing the glass. I keep mine slicked up and have yet to loose another regulator.

    lubing the window track up with wd-40 or slicone spray is a bad idea, as it attracts dust and dirt and clogs up the track.

    my last truck ate 3 pass side regulators the last one lasted forever. i sprayed it with graphite for locks in spray can. worked like butter.
