Getting more power to our sh*tty window motors

The passenger side window gets weak when it comes into contact with the rubber insulation on the t-top and it'll stop going up unless I open the door.
Is there a way we can get more power to the window motors?

Ive changed them out 4 times on teh drivers side and once on teh passenger side.

Anyway to fix our crappy window motors.... Do they have any Naws hook ups on them or turbo applications.... i really need to vtech my power window motors.

Adjust your windows.

I had the same problem until i adjusted the window to even up the pressure around the weather stripping. It helped out quite a bit and it doensnt leak water.

Check out shoebox's site for window adjustment guide.

My passenger window goes all the way up however it struggles hard.. if I roll up/down the driver side and the passenger side at the same time, the passenger side takes about twice as long, geeze by maybe it's just because it's rubbing and not a lack of power? What is shoebox's site again for the window adjustment?

Cool

Normally I don't chime in after Shoebox(my favorite),but if you want to buy some time before replacing the motors,lube everything in site,all tracks ,gears and everything.This bought me a couple of years of good window performance.My02(just replaced my drivers window motor thursday though).Hope this helps.(this cannot be accomplished without Shoebox's pics though).Hope this helps.

Try conditioning the weatherstripping with silicone dielectric grease. It was recommended and it worked very well for me, and now my passenger is like fractions of a second away from the driver one in an upwards race. And on top of that, the driver's side goes up faster too, so praise the dielectric grease.
