That sounds about typical.   With some fine-tuning you can get rid of the 
tight spot, but in attempting to do that, you could also go backwards and

I've never found the window movement to be too slow; since my Pantera is 
the only car I own with electric windows, it's a huge upgrade over everything 
else in the fleet. :>)
