The driver's side window is extremely hard to roll up, I need to use two hands to do so, and it is worse in cold weather. Can someone help me figure out why? THANKS!!

It may be slipping off track.

Just make sure you don't pull TOO hard, because that's how my window just blew. And I'm sure now that it's colder, it'll blow even easier. Plus, you will mess up your regulator if you keep pushing it. It's not that hard to replace a window, but once the regulator is bent, and you replace it after it's bent, the window won't align right. I have that problem right now, I haven't opened the window ever since.

Whatever it is, you're going to have to take off the door panel to figure it out. I'd suggest putting some gease or something on the moving parts while you have the panel off, it can't hurt anything, and it could help.

it sounds like your power window motor is going bad
or the spring may have popped off. If its the motor,
you can usually find a used one at a junk yard for $60-$80.

I'm having similar problems with my driverside window. Since I got the car I've had this problem: every time I roll the window down, it comes off track, it never fails. I havent been able to roll it down since I got it. I live down in GA, and the summers here are incredibly hot and humid. With only 1 window that rolls down, and a sunroof thats about to go out, its unbelievablly hot. (I dont have AC right now). So anyways, I'm considering just buying a new door frame. I'll keep my same skin and just replace the door itself. I know the problem isnt with the regulator, b/c I replaced it thinking thats what was wrong, and it didnt help a bit. Seriously though, if any of you guys know what it could be, let me know. Just in case the window track is bent, can it be fixed? I looked, and I cant find anywhere on it that it looks bent or messed up. I'm stumped on this one.....
