Mine has been doing the same thing. I was reluctant to take it in considering the electrical upgrades ive done and I did not want Ford to say my electrical system is failing because of my upgrades and then i'll have to pay for it.

THe weatherstripping binds somehow. All I know i took it to the dealership they replaced the weatherstrip around the window now the window works fine. It got to the point it would not go up on its own.covered under the warranty

odd, I have the exact same thing on my truck. The drivers side and back windows fly up but the front passenger one is sloooow. Now that I know what may be causing it, i'll look into it.

Just curious, anyone have it happen on a window other than that passenger side???

My drivers side window is very slow to go up if I have it all of the way down. After it moves up a couple of inches then its fine. Sometimes I have to push and hold the button a few seconds to start to get it to move initially - afraid that it could be burning the motor up. Anyone else have this? Could it also be the weatherstripping?

Do you know what kind of lube they used???

My pass. window is slower but its not real slow like you guys are talking about. Maybe some lube would work...maybe i should just used vasoline...works like a charm at lubing stuff
