Welcome to the thirdgen club--they're all slow. Cleaning and lubing will no doubt help, but speed will never be a virtue of our windows.

Re: window motors

New switches, or brushes help a lot.
But yes, these aren't fords or mazdas or something. GM is cursed with crappy power windows (at least in this era)

you can buy new ones, $140 or so each. However cleaning and new brushes will accomplish the same thing.

Re: window motors

The power window motor I got at autozone for 50 dollars is faster than the OEM ones.
JUST FYI
