Power window binding?
Power window starts slowing down about 1/3 way up & requires help to move further up. Motor or adjustment problem? Adjustment procedures?
TIA

There is a Power Window Regulator Spring that helps it up. it may be broken or just detached.. common problem.. Does it go down fast? that's usually the tip off .

My window is doing the same. I just replaced the outer window felt. The window isn't even touching the felt so I know that is not the problem. It seems to bind on the inner side of the window. Very tight against the inner felt. It worked fine before I started the replacement. HELP

Make SURE your engine is RUNNING!!!!....and NOT just your key being turned ON.

I had the same problem on a minivan that I'm getting ready to sell. After finding that the window was on the track, I did a little research about sticky windows. Over the years the felts can get dirty and grimy, creating excess friction when the window tries to glide within them. I bought a silicon spray made by PB Blaster, sprayed the channels, and the problem was instantly fixed. For about $5 you can try it and have a bunch of product left over for later.

Not knowing what you did or how you replaced the OUTER WINDOW felt seal..I am lost.
DOOR PANEL OFF: IF you have the window down...your window should be able to move to the outer felt seal and then back to the felt adjusters. And when it is being rolled up...it still should have some in and out movement and NOT be super tight and seem like it is locked in place.
IF you messed around with the top bolts for your front and rear track mounting areas....put them BACK where they were....the SAME GOES for the two felt adjusters also.
Try that and see what happens because...like I wrote..I have no idea on what you touched.
