Ok my Gtp driver window once it goes down you go to push it up and it will go up like 1/10 of an inch and then stop. 5 minutes later it will go up llike another 1/10 of an inch. I just bought a new window motor and regulator for 65 bucks. Should this fix the problem or did I make a mistake and not fix the switch instead.

I had to change both the regulator and the switch.

The window regulator design sucks. I burned out my original switch trying to get the new motor to work.

Swapped out with a new switch and the window goes up. But very slow. If I'm in a hurry I give a little pull on the window and it goes up just fine.
