Default Power window question...

I noticed a weird thing with my MMH, not sure if this is common and/or I am just being plain nit-picky.

Anyways, my passenger side powered windows are about 30% slower in speed going down, and about 40% slower in moving up in comparison to my driver's side windows. Has anyone else noticed this with their MMH/FEH?

My wife's MPV and the Mustang seem to move up and down within .5 second of each other on either side. I asked my wife to "roll" them up and down, and she thought it was also an annoying difference in speed...enough to want to take it back to the original dealer >40 miles away. We have a dealer <5 miles from us, so I would probably take it there... Anyways is this normal???

Nope. I have never seen that in a 2005 FEH.

My last car (Pontiac GTO) had a much slower passenger power window too. I guess I never really thought about it much. Maybe they do that on purpose since the driver's side window is the one you use more often (paying tolls, drive-thru restaurants & bank windows, etc).

Something is binding, get it to the dealership.

That's unusual. You should get that checked out.

Yeah I am definitely going to have it checked out. Maybe at the first oil change, or if there is a recall or some other issues crops up.

I'll bet when you take it in, the dealer will say your driver's side window moves faster because you use it more and the seals aren't as tight. Not that I think that will be necessarily be true in your case.
