With any type of metal parts they will expand and contract with the weather and this seems like it may be what you are having a problem with considering this doesn't happen when It's cold. I suggest that you clean and grease the tracks of the windows.

Hondas are notorious for this. I have not owned one Honda or Acura that the motors for any window/sunroof got slow in the cold and rain. The motor on my driver's side door in my teg had to be replaced after a year. When it rained it went down but not up...you had to pull it up with one hand while pushing on the button with the other.

- white lithium grease on the moonroof tracks will cure that problem.

- silicon lubricant spray in window tracks will help the motor raise and lower the window.
