Default power window problem

on my driver side, i roll the window up, it gets to about an inch from the top and starts clicking, i have to pull it up by hand the rest of the way....

on the pass side, the window will roll half way up, then stick, i give it a push with my hand and it will finish rolling up with the switch....

any ideas?? the sunroof still works fine and they dont roll up slow so i dont think its the motors. please help.....

Sounds like the glass is binding in the side channels. Try spraying some silicone lubricant into the side rubber channels where the window edges slide.

With the window rolled all the way down, start from the highest points and spray the silicone lubricant into the rubber channels marked in red. No need to remove the door panel. The lubricant will drip down by gravity to the lowest points in the channels. Roll the window up and down several times. You should notice an improvement almost immediately.
