I assume you mean that the window motor is 2 months old? If so, it could be a dud. (It has happened to me.) A lot of the motors sold in auto parts stores are rebuilt units. Or, I also got another one from a store once where someone else exchanged their bad motor for a new one and returned the package. The store then stocked it back on the shelf and tried to sell it to me as a "new" unit.

its my buddys dads vette he told me its not the first time this has happened hes gone through a couple of regulators all brand new dealer parts and the same thing seems to keep happening after a while. his mechanic told him its common in the 02 vette i dont know if thats true or not
Sounds like the motor but i'd also check the body control module. There is a circuit setup that reads the load on the motor and stops it if there is too much resistance. It is setup to protect people from getting hands and whatnot stuck in a losing battle against power windows.

i do not know why he is changing regulators try checking on the whole entire motor that should be a problem especially with chevys the power window motors always die out same thing happened to my camaro my driver side was good but when my t top flew off while i was driving and after i got a new one my t top started leaking so the auto repair shop had to take off the door and tilt my driver side window which afterwards made my motor really weak so i bought 2 new motors and now they are fine try buying the power window motors i bet thats the problem i dont think thats normal for corvettes
