Power window issue?

Lately my passenger side front window is closing very slowly compared to all the others. I watch the voltage gauge and when i pull all four window switches to close the meter drops as usual, but the passenger front window closes extremely slower than the others.

I'll race the four and the front passenger always loses lol, even with a headstart it closes last.

Any possible causes of this? Is the motor on its way out or some relay issue or what? Has this happened to anyone else or is it normal?

Thanks in advance!!

Word to the wise, your never supposed to close all the windows at the same time, it kills the relay.

But its so fun to make the windows race! My rears close at the same time, but my front driver's is always faster than the front passenger's. I've noticed this on a few cars though, that the driver's side window is the fastest moving.

I guess the drivers side is faster cuz you use it more. Wouldn't want my passenger having the faster window

If I try to close all four windows at the same time it takes like 10 minutes. I just close them seperatly front/back.

haha, well honestly, a car should be able to handle closing all four windows at once. i understand it takes more power, but still.

this has gotten noticably slower over past few months and i wasn't sure if it was just me or what. but ill have it checked out soon.

my passenger door speaker also vibrates, i went inside the panel and throught a screw was loose or w.e but it is the speaker itself which surprises me because i don't ever blast the stereo, i enjoy the sounds of the car haha.

could there be a connection to the window and speaker though?
