i think you are probably right about this. I have replaced the window clips on this side and the rear one was jerry rigged (screwed) into the plastic clip. Someone improvised a little. I replaced it with the proper (crappy) clip but the not-so tight fit had caused the sliding part on the regulator to have a little play in it. I'm wondering if this is creating some resistance and preventing the window from moving up and down smoothely. I have a replacement regulator already so I will prob go ahead and just replace the fucker. I just dread removing the stupid door panel for the 1000000th time.

It is usually the rear mounting clip that fails on the regulator, making it slow going up by pushing against the rear guide. Do this check to confirm the regulator is broken as I described... with the window partially up, grab the back of it and lift. You will likely get about 1 inch of movement. Compare that to the other side that's working right and you will feel the difference.
