Giving Power windows more... power

OK, I admit... I didn't search, but is there any way to get more oomph out of the power windows?

I just redid my door panels and, the windows had problems before, but now they are really struggling. They get most of the way up then about crap out, but still manage to slowly eek their way up, but just barely.

Here is the re-skinned door panel. Not too bad for a first timer not knowing what I was doing... the gray got kind of washed out by the camera flash.

Nice work! My windows (especially the pass side) do the same thing. Have you checked the tracks? On mine the plastic guides on the tracks were pushed all the way to the bottom & that caused a lot of friction as the window came up. I think mine just need a lil regreasing now.

Okay, my passenger side window is slow going up. How would I grease it? And what kind should I use? Thanks in advance.

I just took the door panel off and looked at every part that touched together or would touch together and just used the same stuff I used on my wheel bearings. just lightly enough to make it slick again.

Okay, thanks bro' appreciate it. Yeah I will probably look into it here soon. I have some other more important things to attend to. Like my front suspension. I am putting on new front struts tomorrow.
