anyone have issues with slow windows?

I think my window glass must be out of adjustment or something else is on my passenger front window.

It was always slow. finally a couple months ago, it started popping fuses so I just replaced the regulator/motor assembly.

even with the new regulator/motor assembly, upward travel is very slow as if its dragging against something.

I dont see anywhere to adjust the regulator itself or the window inside the track.

Only thing I can think of is maybe the window channel felt itself? I've looked at it and dont really see anything that is bound/crimped/etc.

I had the window loose in the door without the regulator hooked up and manually pushing it up, I can do it with one finger from one hand (dont need extra force so no real resistance). the action on the regulator/motor assembly unhooked is the same as for the driver side window as well.

anyone had a similar issue and found a simple solution that was hidden from them? I'm kind of at a loss. Its as if, once I get the window hooked back to the regulator, it changes the angle of the window inside the track so that it rubs on something...

I know this will lead to issues as it'll put strain on the motor and eventually burn it out...most likely on a rainy day...
