The problem may be the weatherstrip gasket, even if it looks good.

Have you checked for power at the window motors? Pull the door panels and check for power with the switch plugged in.

Check for power before and after the switch (while holding the switch open). If you get it before and not after then it is the switch. If there is no power before the switch, then you will have to work your way up the wiring harness by trial and error.

For your sticking latch,

Thoroughly clean it with brake cleaner. Rinse all residue. Lube with white lithium grease. Work latch until proper operation is achieved.
