That's how ALL Honda cars are, that I've been on. What my friend does is use some grease on the side rails of the window and also coats his window (inside and out) with wax. Makes it MAD slippery and smooth and glides in and out VERY quick.

Grease the tracks, Could be getting bound up in there, also window could be out of adjustment, i dont know if you can adjust that i had a window in my lebaron that went up HELLA slow cause if wasent seated right, but it was a convertable and had no track to sit in. Id give that a try and check to see how many amps you have going to the motors could be corroded connections too giving you a proplem and i remember the motors arent protected to well from the weather as youd think. Should help you out

Did they just start to move slow, or have they always been slow. Could be the regulator, or maybe the grooves in the tracks are getting worn.
