1993 Subaru Legacy: sluggish window motors?

[David Vier]

Our 1993 Legacy has real slow window motors, and the sunroof is maybe a
little slow as well. The windows struggle to close, and the auto-stop on
the driver's one doesn't work. Does anybody else have this problem? Is
it the motors, or does something need to be lubricated, or what? The car
was bought used, so I don't know how strong the motors were to begin
with, but they're weaker than any others I've seen.

I think I have read of people mentioning this problem, however, cleaning
and re-tightening ground connections and a thorough test of the charging
system and battery would be a good idea.
