Having some issues with the power window on the passenger side. It seems to tilt forward as it goes up, then it slows down, and finally speeds up and goes up the rest of the way.
I am thinking that it is likely I just need to tighten the window holding thingies (technical term), but was wondering if there was something else that could cause this. Better to know before I start pulling the door apart!

Same for me but until it breaks, I will not worry about it. In addition, I notice that when the engine is not running, it seems to move slower. Once again, until it breaks, I will not worry.

Pull the door panel off and have a look. You may be right.

It may help to lube the window runs. It should be done once or twice a year.
Use spary silicon with a wand. Roll the window down most of the way. Insert the wand between the rear edge of the glass and the window run channel and spray about 10 seconds, then continue spraying and get the rest of the channel up to the top.
Roll the window up enough to place the front edge in a similar position to the channel as you did with the rear edge and repeat.
Do all four windows.
Don't worry about using too much, it won't hurt anything other than being a bit wastful of product.
