Default 1997 accord drivers side window problem

The window on my drivers side door goes down perfectly fine, but when i need to raise it back up nothing happens, i have to hold the button in the up position for sometimes 10 min. at most, either that or just jiggle the button a whole lot. Heres the wierd thing...all my other windows work perfectly fine, even when im operating them from the drivers side controls, whats my problem with the windows and how much do you think it will cost me to get it fixed. thanks everyone

cant fix it cheaply..ive heard that the dealer will replace the rubber lining for like 200$+....you can try silicone spray on the rubber tracks....it helps but not really.

i got a '96, put a new switch in and the damn thing is still slow, I have to pull it up sometimes. Tried adjusting the window per the service manual about 5 times, it only works well for about a week until it goes back to being slow. i have the new rubber slide and a new regulator, just need a day to put it in...i heard that it is a pain in p.t.a..

thats right, it was moving slowly, but its gotten to the point so it doesnt move at all when its down, i usualy have to jiggle the button up and down for about 3-4 min before anything ever happens, then sometimes it will go up half way, stop and ill have to repeat the whole process.
