Holy Fu%^$*( Crap......
My driverside window was stalling quite frequently lately and so I took the motor out and removed the copper thermal strip and reinstalled it and now the window operates like it should have from the factory. OMG
I takes 3 seconds to go up now. Soooo much better!

God put that thermal shut-off there for a reason. (Maybe... to keep the windows from tearing apart the composite door? Maybe, to keep the wires and motor from overheating?) Its a $30 "fix" that could cost a lot more down the road.
At very least, if you are going to keep the motor like this, you should remove the express down module. It will keep power applied to the motor for long periods of time. If it is taken out, you can just rely on your fingers being on the window buttons.

Inside the motor there is a multiple layer copper strip that heats up and lowers current when an abnormal load is present. They wear out and prematurely lower current. Causing the slow window we all live with. I replaced my motor with a gm unit from parts taxi for cheap but you could remove that strip and fix it 9/10 times... There is a write up around here it might pop up in a search

The express down feature is easy to defeat. Just go under the steering columb and find the module mounted on the fire wall, remove it from the holder and unplug it. Now BEND TERMINAL "C" down out of the way and plug it back in. Window will now work normally without the express feature. I disable alot of these.
