If you wait a couple minutes, then it moves up a little and stops, wait longer then moves up a little further than before, etc. sounds like the motor. Welcome to the club.

No it goes down then it does not come out at all until I b$tch slap the button then it goes all the way up.... I guess I 'll keep bringing it down about 3/4 of the way and be happy with that till it starts doing something else...

This sounds like A. The new motor is kinda crappy and once it heats up and the resistance increases it does not have enough windings in the motor to keep the push up. B. Your tracks and or something like guides in the door should be greased and it just slows down because it gets hard to move the window at the top. C. Or you just have the normal voltage drop the passenger side normally gets.
