Default slow power window

My driver side power window is extremely slow. You have to assist it with your hand to pull it up. What should I look foir when repairing? Bad motor, wiring connections, or tracks?

In addition to cleaning/oiling the tracks and lift mechanism, also check the integrity of the wiring. Make sure there are no shorts or bad insulation, and ensure the connections are clean and tight.

If it goes down quicker than normal and up slower than normal, the spring in the window regulator is broken. It happened to me.
