Default 82 power windows

Hey just replaced my window motors the passenger side finally works. The drivers on the other hand rolls down smoothly but won't go up and you gotta pull on the glass to make it go up all the way. This is the problem i had before replacing it. Do I gotta grease something? If so what? What other issues could this be? And man corvette makes changing the motor so easy compared to a Camaro lol. The motor does try to go up but seems like it's jammed or something

Sounds like something in binding in the tracks.

Verify that your motor works in both directions and I'd check to see if the glass slides up just as easily as down.
