I have the same trouble. I've tried lub'ing the tracks and the rest of
the mechanism with silicone lubricant and it does essentially no good.
The system is Mickey Mouse at best and incompetent at worst. Some 70's
and 80's Ferraris with "power" windows use exactly the same system
from the same manufacturer. I have researched it and found that the
only way to fix the problem correctly is to replace the whole with a
new one. Since the original parts are no longer available new, I
suggest this "hot-rod" kit designed for cars with thin doors that use
the "rack-tape" method or one similar:

I suspect there needs to be some kind of lube in the window tracks
that
guide it up. With the least bit of finger pressure helping it
along, it seems
much happier going up. Is there a non destructive spray I can put
on there
to see if this is all it needs? On another GTV 6, I changed the
motor in
the door, so I have an idea of what's inside. Before I go looking
in there,
it just seems like a 26 year old mechanism that's never been lubed
is the
most likely place to start.
