Ya its kinda common on our cars, its an issue that comes and goes on mine, apparently its the motor that gets clogged up and needs cleaning soon or replacement later... but iv not bothered with it so far and have had no issues.

My window started going up and down slow too. I brought it in to the dealer and they lubed it up and it's been perfect ever since (3 months). They say that the window motor needs lube sometimes and that it would have cost me 50 bucks if i wasn't covered under warranty.

Really just lube? I always thought it was my tint causing the window to move up and down slow. Especially the back windows. :-/

The fix is real easy for this. And it applies to all cars that I've used this fix on. Just roll the windows down and spray a mist of silicone lube on both the insides of the front and rear window tracks, roll the windows up and down and spray a bit more till you feel it's evenly coated with the lube. It's a bit messy, those thin plastic straws that most of them come with help alot when spraying it into the tracks. My windows roll up and down pretty fast after doing that to mine.

My windows are also tinted fyi, and yes they do sometimes cause additional drag on the windows but that is all resolved with a light spray of lube to the tracks. Make sure you have a paper towel handy to wipe up any excess.
