Can anyone help on a problem with the drivers door electic window on my Marea Weekend. It is sticking and very slow going up. The one-touch feature stops the window about 2 inches from the top and it needs help to close by holding on the button. The window then creeps closed. I am worried this will eventually burn out the motor. Any suggestions to resolve this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah, be careful not burning the motor, all though it should be protected by a fuse.
It can be because of friction caused by insufficent grease on the window opening rod. i suggest you remove the door panel and check the condition of the electric window opening device and the opening rod.

Also, the vertical rails need a clean (once you get to the inside of the door)

Temporarily you can just spray the rails with some silicone based (non sticking) lube.
 
whatever you do, dont use an oil based lubricant.

silicone spray usually fixes easily enough.
