power window motor question

the passenger window takes longer to go up and down than the drivers window, and also the power locks dont work very well either, I have to press it multiple times to get it locked or unlocked. before I take off the panels should I just buy hew window motors and locks or do they just need some grease? thanksssss

Cleaning/lubbing them is also helpful, but lord is correct: The windows are slow--especially compared to new cars.
