Default passenger window got slow tonight

I just replaced the defroster bezel on the passenger door of my 89 coupe (it was missing when I bought it a month ago). The window had been working fine, but when I shut the window after putting the part in, it went up slow and didn't want to go up the last 1/4 inch. Could the bezel be catching on it somehow, or was it just my luck that the motor decided to give it up tonight? I was going to take out the bezel and try again, but it was late, I was tired and got lazy
Any ideas?
thanks

Sounds like the motor is taking a dump. Maybe try cleaning and regreasing it?

I thought it was the motor it's just a drag since we only bought the car last month. Now I have to wait for time to dig into it.

My drivers window was like that (without the last 1/4" issue though) but some silicone spray took care of it.
