Window motors dying?!?!

Hey guys, my front right window and my rears are going up and down really slow now. The front right one is the worst, it takes a good twice as long to go down compared to the driver side.

From what I recall, window motor replacements/repairs are really expensive, what should I do??

that is weird though, you would expect the driver's would be the worst as it is likely used the most.

I'm thinking maybe because the installers were lazy and applied the LIMO (5%) tint OVER the dealer tint........

I'm gonna go over to the place hopefully when I have some time and just have them redo it.

i'm having a problem with my drivers side window...wondering if it's the window motor as many people have described has happend on the 03 G's. My problem is goofy though. It started off by the auto up feature only putting the window about half way up, then shooting back down. Now that doesn't seem to be the problem, but it sometimes will just plain not work at all when you press the switch. It either seems to work perfect (not slow or anything) or not work at all now. Is this what happend to you guys that had to replace the window motor??
Thanks!
