Cliff,
Am I to assume you still have the stock original window switches? They are junk and I am surprised they have lasted this long. The new stock replacement switches are even worse!
You definitely want Bosch switches. Here is everything you need to know about them, including a wiring transmogrifier.
Old-school dot matrix printer from the 1980s...but the facts are still the facts.
Do an eBay search on the window switch part number and you can find them pretty cheaply.

Don’t buy just one. If you are converting your car from stock switches to bosch, they are just slightly different so you need to buy a pair. They are a hair’s width wider, so you will need to carefully file the outside edges of the openings in the instrument panel.
If you already have Bosch switches, yours is the first i have ever hear of that failed.
Of course, nobody would be selling them if they didn’t fail eventually, would they? :)
Cheers!
Mike

If I read his description correctly he has a separate motor not
connected to anything that runs as normal in the down direction but
is
slow in the up direction. This indicates some resistance in the
circuit, most assuredly in the switch. I do not know if the switch
can
be disassembled and contacts cleaned but if it is an original
switch I
would recommend replacing with a Bosh replacement available from
most
vendors or if someone has switched over to the switches from
Pantera
Electronics there may be some good used ones available. For the
cost of
switches I would not mess with it.

Folks,
Window goes down no problem, I detached the wires to the motor
and
wired up a small 12 volt motor to see if its my switch or motor.
The
new "test" motor whirled great on the down but very slow on the
up.
Can I assume Switch? I understand the difference from up/down is
polarity in the switch? Can the window switch be dissembled and
the
contact cleaned? If not--Best place to get another switch? Also
what
grease should I grease rails, mechanism,etc.. inside door.
Thanks
!!
