Weasel will become famous soon enough
When the front window regulators break the rear lift breaks first causing the window to go up slow.

You could either repalce the regulator or do the mrbmwx5 regulator fix .

Maybe, the regulator was for sure broken because the window would no longer go up anymore (it was stuck in the down position) but even after i changed it, the speed is still slow. I will try greasing it first maybe.

Had the same issue with driver's door - ordered a new regulator and it was still slow, so I put the old regulator back in and bought a new motor and that fixed the "slowness".

My front passenger window is also slow going up and down.

For those that have changed the regulator or motor, what do the jobs cost?
