Anybody have any experience with the power tailgate window on a 72 chevelle?

Mine is very slow going up -

Suggestions?

Do you think it's the window motor?

Anyone have a good source of parts for window motors?

Thanks in advance!!!

hi, the best thing i can suggest is taking it apart and cleaning and greesing all the tracks and rollers. i dont think it's your motor. it should be cleaned any way. so if it still does it then change the motor. on my site i have links to the tal gate window fuzzies if you have not replaced them you should to keep crap out. i dont have a source on tailgate motors. i have not need to buy one. i have several spares and dont want to part with them.

My RH door window is slow, I believe it's a ground. When I open the door it grounds through the detent roller (I see sparks) and it moves a little faster depending on where the door is moving. Check the grounds, clean things up inside and see if that does it.
