Passenger Side Power Window

[Miles]

Does anyone else's passenger side window roll down noticeably slower than the other windows? I have power windows and my passenger side rolls down significantly slower.

At the radio station I work at, one of our station vehicles has the same issue and occasionally the passenger side window slips and won't roll up. It's a 5-6 year old Jeep, so it's apples to oranges to my Sonic, but I'm asking because I don't want my Sonic to have the same problem the Jeep has later down the road.

Probably just another way to save a little bit of money; The driver's side window is going to be used more, so put a larger and/or faster motor or regulator that costs a little more to make, but the passenger side won't be used as much and a slower operation won't be as perceptible as it would on the driver's side, so they can save a few cent on each motor or regulator they install on that side. I haven't noticed mine rolling up or down any slower, but I haven't paid any attention to it really. My idea might be crazy, but it is quite a possible explanation.

Yeah I guess that makes sense. I'll have to test the rear window speed to my driver window speed and see if they just have a quicker motor for the driver.

I've had my sonic for 2 weeks and have noticed the same thing, I tested it with all my windows and the passenger front window is the only one that is slow, all 3 other windows are the same Speed so I'm taking mine into the dealership and asking whats wrong lol

All of my windows operate at the same speed, and as far as I can tell, they all have the same motors/regulators.

Just checked today, the passenger side window on mine goes up and down just a fraction of a second slower than the driver's side. Not enough for me to consider it a problem though. I don't know about the rear ones because I hardly ever use those.
