Default Rear pwr windows not going down

I just bought a 95 sedan and the rear passenger window does not go down. When i press the button I hear a motor noise but nothing happens/ What do i need to change? Also the rear driver window goes down very slow and doesn't want to come back up. I have to kinda push it with my hand in order for it to go up. Please Help

Spray some silicone lubricant into the rubber side channels where the window glass slides. This can be done on the driver's side rear window when it is rolled down. The passenger's window may be fixed in the same way, though you'll need to pull off the door panel to access the channels. Also inspect the window regulator while you have the panel off.

I took off my rear door panel and ripped open the plastic and tried the window again. I hear the motor buzzing abit but the window goes up really slow and after a second the motor sound stops and the window stops going up. What will i need to change or can i put some grease somewhere? If I do need to change something what will it be?

You may need new window regulators for both sides.
First, what you need to do is to try lubricate the channels properly, adjust the window channel bolts to prevent binding, and make sure that the window channels / gearing isn't frozen or rusted together.
Second, make sure that there isn't anything blocking the freedom of movement of the gearing system that pushes/pulls the window up and down. It is always possible that some wiring or plastic or something else is jamming the gearing.

Last, if you do all of this but your windows still won't go up or down look in to getting some new or used power window regulator and channels. If you can't make yours work you will likely need new ones...obviously.
