I guess this is a common thing with these cars, and I seem to rember someone saying the passenger side is underpowered somehow, anyone know where I read that?
And is there a way to speed these up?

I also wonder is it normal when you roll the window down, the door liner pushes into the car some, from the last couple of inches going all the way down??

Thanks for the insight

Yes very common problem...and ofcourse the window motor is behind rivets lol. Cant beat the 15 dollar ebay window motor though.

BCM = body control module?

A new motor sounds good.
Is it a direct swap for a more powerful motor?
It sounds like the rivets need drilling out and the motor replaced with the new one?
I guess the rivts are all hiden behind the pannel?

Thanks for the help

I don't know if you can put a more powerful window motor in but typically when they slow down they are getting ready to stop all together. You will have to drill the rivets and replace the motor. Pop the door panel off to get to them.

It won't fix the problem you already have but after you replace the motor it can prevent it from happening again..... search Autotrix.....

Yep. My windows are fast now. Love it. Did both the drivers and passenger side.

Mine were really slow, I had them replaced with brand new ones and there still slow.

Yes, everthing you heard is true. I'm too lazy to do a search for you but the pass window has a wire problem that reduces the available current. There is a fix out there for that.
Also the panel moved from day one with mine.

It is too bad the first LS1.com forum lost 5 years of posts from all us original owners. There was a great source of info in there.

LS1UNIVERSITY may have something.
Good luck.

actually http://www.autotrix.net has a kit still as well as other usefull things such as one touch express passenger kit. It's freaking expensive though.
