Question Passenger window working slow

He guys,

I've been searching around on the forum for an answer to my problem but there are some things unclear to me.
I've noticed that the passenger window moves up and down slower then the driver side, i can hear the motor has a hard time operating it.
As most problems with the window motors occurred with the earlier model i am wondering if the motors of an '07 have the same weak motor.
And as it does operate, is there a certain issue causing this that can be repaired or i better start looking for a new motor?

Hope someone recognises the symptoms and can help me out what to do.
I have a bad experience with removing door panels several times as you will get wear/play and it will not fit as nice as it was and causing squeaky noises etc.

Thx for reading!

Is your passenger-side window operated at about the same frequency as your driver-side window? Most owners experience a failure with the driver-side window since it is run more frequently.

Slow operation of a side window could also indicate a problem with the window regulator. Since you're not confident with door panels, it sounds like you'll need to take it to a dealership or technician to get it properly assessed.

Thanks for your answers guys,

The driver window moves faster up and down compared to the passenger side.
Also you can hear the motor has to work hard to keep the window moving.

I can remove the door panel myself but i just want to avoid doing this several times for no reason.
If this was like a clear indication that the motor is dying i will order a new one and then open it up and get it sorted.
If i have to open it several times for cleaning and later open it again to change the motor i am afraid the door panel might have a bad fitment with all consequences like squeaks and rattles.

Now i start to think that maybe the window is sticky as it's not used much.

Could be something inside the door panel that's hitting the glass and making it slow.
It's not too difficult to take it apart yourself.
