Default window has gone nuts

This morning for some reason the pass side window on the car has gone nuts. It stopped half way down and would not go up. After a couple miles I tried it and it went up a few inches, couple more miles couple more inches, and so on until it was up. When I got to work I tried the window and it went up and down just fine twice and then it got real slow. Yesterday it worked just fine, so what gives. The only thing new is that the temp has dropped and it was 50* this morning.

Sounds like the window motor isn't happy. But, you could check out the switches to see if the problem happens on both the driver's side switch and the pass. side. If the window acts up both ways, could be the motor.

I tried it on both switches but now it is working fine. At lunch I had the tires rotated and both windows are working fine.

Boy, that's good to know. If I ever have trouble with my windows, I'll rotate the tires. (just kidding)
