Yeah I had that exact same problem with my drivers side window. You window motor/regulator is out and needs replaced. Sounds like your passenger window is getting ready to do the same thing. It is a common problem on these cars.

they are a PITA to replace 
most shops charge like 50 to do the install sometimes its worth it
Yea its a pain if you have big arms and hands especially, because you have to have them all twisted, if you are going to do it, invest in one of those telescoping mirror tools. Saved my butt plenty o' times.
Oh yea what I did to make future installs easier was drilled hole to get to the bolt locations easier, now I dont have to twist my arms off anymore.
