Power windows slow to raise

Got a 24 crew and the power windows are really slow to raise. Lower is fine but going up is really slow. Anyone else have this problem?
 
Almost everyone else has this problem, some worse than others. About all you can do is check your window gaskets and see if it's unusually tight in some areas. I don't know if anyone has tried anything on the windows to make them a little slicker, I know it might sound stupid, but a Rain-X or wax might help??? Mine are better than many I have seen, and I never try to raise 2 at the same time.

My driverside front is really bad, it will not go all the way up if the engine is not running, needs that volt or two boost from the alternator. Mine is headed for the dealer for several warranty issues, hopefully a new operator motor will fix it.

Purchased 3-IN-One Window and Track dry lubricant spray from Walmart. Designed to spray into window tracks and dries providing lubricant between windows and tracks. Seems to work fairly well.
 
Same problem. Dealer sprayed track and arms and worked. Not sure in really cold weather yet. hopefully it wont gum up.
 
Just got my 2025 Ranger XD 2-door back from the Dealer. Main reason was they added the hydraulic snow plow parts and shifter control for same. One of the issues was the driver side window was slower up/down than the passenger window. They told me that Polaris is aware of the issue and will be sending them replacement motors for both sides. No ETA yet.
I don't know this dealer well enough to know how much truth there is to this, but that's where I am at with the window motor issue on mine.
 
Drivers side front on ours would not go all the way up unless the engine was running, needed that extra volt or two of the alternator. Recently corrected under warranty but I forgot to ask what was done.
 
2 door ultimate, drivers window is slow to close as well. It’s better since I used that dry lube on the track, but still isn’t perfect. Interested to see what Polaris is doing for this.
 
I’ve noticed mine are slow as well if I don’t have the machine running, or if they get lowered with mud/dirt on them.
 
Mine are slow but so was my XP. Definitely better with the motor running.
 
My driver side window is very slow and did it from day one. Checking with my dealer. It is not a dirt issue in my opinion.
 
Talked to my dealer on slow windows. He said some of the windows have a tight tolerance. He said to spray dry silicone onto your window seals. I used WD 40 dry silicone on mine and it really did help. Not sure how often but so far it’s much better.
