Default Window sticks - replaced switch no help

Occasionally my electric driver side wndow will stick open after I roll it down.

After a few minutes it will fully close. I had this issue when the car (1999) was new and the dealer replaced the rocker switch on the door.

Knowing this, I ordered and replaced the rocker switch again recently but this did not help much.

Is the electric window motor going bad?

Sounds like the common window motor issue almost everybody has seen. Pretty easy fix. I used:

There are also a lot of good threads if you want to get some other symptom descriptions to gauge whether it really is the motor. I bet it is though.

I'm going to say window motor as well. It is pretty common. Do a search for power window and there's a ton of info.
