Slow rolling windows?

Anyone else have really slow rolling passenger side window? Theres a large difference in the speed between the two... never had a problem on a new car before.

My driver side is faster than my passenger. Really slow? eeehh maybe a 1-2 seconds slower. They may of made the driver side faster as that would be used more and it has the auto roll down.

09 SS does it.

Sucks to roll them up at the same time. I sometimes forget and my passenger window is cracked.

I dont think its a issue, I think thats the way they all are. What we should do is adapt the left hand sided parts to the right side (driver to passenger) so we can have both windows auto roll down and maybe even the same speed up

This is the first car I've had with one touch down thats done it. My dodge ram didnt do it, even my malibu didnt do it. Just kinda surprising. I only bring it up as if i dont pay attention like happened yesterday, in comes the rain.

its normal, but after 4 years mine is horrible!!! i would say it takes between 7-10 to roll it up, and if you turn the car off first it takes 15-20 seconds... it is to the point where i need to take care of it before it drives me insane.

Sounds like your battery is ready to expire

On topic, mine go up / down within 1/2 second of each other, no difference really.

On an older car I can see the drivers window being a bit quicker just because it gets used more - the track loosens up a bit. Doesn't explain a big difference on a newer car though.....

i have the same problem. i got an 06ss/na. takes almost exactly as long as u mention and is especially slow when the car is off. it isnt the battery tho, i got a brand new battery not even a month ago, still does it. is there anyway to adjust the rpm's maybe so they go quicker?

Yea it's an issue in pretty much every Cobalt. When I first got my SS the passenger window was only like a second or 2 slower, now it's a LOT slower than that. Kinda annoying.

My GF's '07 Murano has auto down & auto up for both front windows, no speed difference there.

However, my '06 SS has a noticable driver's/passengers difference, especially if I roll both up at the same time.

I think it is the "nature of the beast" for the Cobalts
