Old car which has problems common to it. Most people have luck with thorougly cleaning and lubing the tracks/mechanisms (the windows will always be slow compared to new cars, but the aforementioned should help). The door panels must be removed to reach the guts, so while you're in there, considering the info in the following link:

new brushes in the power window motors, or new switches would also help muchly (if the lube job doesn't do the trick).

with slow window motors i usually always have good luck with them when i take a can of penetrating oil nd spray down the tracks and everything inside the doors

usually always speeds them up


good luck
