Power window interfers with Radio...

Noticed the wierdest thing this morning. When my radio is on and it roll my passenger side window up or down....the station that is on starts to cut out and fill with static. Then when I let go of the button it goes back to normal. And it doesn't do it when I am playing a CD....any ideas??

Power windows are run by DC motors. The brushes in a DC motor create RF interfearnace and if the brushes are old and worn it will produce greater amounts of RF.
