Default driver window issues

I've noticed recently my window will go down fine but going back up it sometimes has problems. For example if I'm hitting two tolls close by the first one it will go up no problem but the second one it will only go up a little then I'll have to wait say 5 mins and then it will go up a little more and repeat. Do you think its the window motor?

i had the same problem, it could be the motor also some camaros i read have a relay under the dash that can cause an issue, i would disconnect the window motor and take leads going to the motor directly and reverse the leads to go up or down to check if for sure its the window motor. make sure to disconect your car battery before atempting i make the mistake and now i have a huge wiring problem cuz i fried something.

The window motor is going into overheat mode...then cooling down. Replace the motor common problem
