Driver power window

My driver window express down feature seems to have gone kaput. If I hold the button it goes up & down normally. Going up the front edge of the window is going up a little slower, but after a short delay it pops up. It seems that the regulator and/or motor may have gotten tilted inside the doorframe. I already have sheet metal reinforcement on the fiberglass for the regulator & motor mounts, but it appears some of those fiberglass holes have wallowed out again. If the express feature isn't related to the wallowed holes, what might it be?

Clean up window track with a piece of dry, stiff cardboard, blow out track with compressed air, and then apply Silicone lubricant into channel. Use sparingly.

There are multiple cutoffs first and you need to get the mechanism working smoothly before you can assess or address the electronics.

This is your biggest problem. As the mechanism sees resistance, the motor and/or the regulator will cut out.

It could be.
