Van is a '98 with 88,000 miles. Anybody torn their door apart? I'm a little hesitant but can't stand the thought of bringing it in for this...
Could it be a simple as worn plastic rollers or just plain off the track?
Any help appreciated!

Before you tear the door panel off, first try spraying silicone on the felt tracks in the small vertical track in at the front on the window, as well as the large track at the back of the window. Try and use the red tube adapter on the spray so that you can limit the spray to only the felt. Help the window go up the track properly using your hands or a second person. After a few up and downs, wipe off any excess lube from your window but not from the track (it will take care of itself). I did not believe this tip until it worked on my 97' when it was at about 130k and the window up and down speed was also slowing down from this interference. Of course the dealer wanted to replace both my toggle switch and motor until I wrrote to AF. For at least a year now, it speeds up and down without hesitation or cocking back or forth. Definitely use spray silicone vs WD-40 which will dry out. Please let us know if this proposed solution works or not. Then we can walk you through the next step.
