I'm sure cleaning them out would help, but you have to realize that big doors = big windows and it's always gonna be kinda slow in a thirdgen.

I have the same issue, I dont think the motors are broken, I have had the car for 2 years and they are still just as slow. What makes me sad is when I ride in my friends 91 tbird. Those windows go down in about 1 second, then I get in my car and it seems like it takes them years to go down. Tbird windows are pretty big too...

Mine stop every now and then but I bought a used motor from the junkyard. Any GM power window motor will work from what I have been told. It does matter what side either becasue they are the same motor mechanism.
