Default Stuck windows

My driver window works fine...but the rest start to go down but then just act like they drag. I am going to look at them this weekend if I get time but would be open for suggestions on what to check. I may just need motors...any used ones out there?

I found the problem, looks like the drive gear runs on a worm shaft that goes up and down with the window. The worm shaft retracts into a rubber hose at the bottom of the door. The hose on my jeep has come off the clip that lets the worm feed into it causing a bind. I will get some replacements when I am in the states next. Just an fyi in case someone else is having the same problem.

They are notorious for doing this. The grease on the cable part gets old a goopy then the tubes pop off. 3 out of 4 on mine did this. Simple fix was WD40 to soften and remove the old grease, wipe clean as best as possible then re grease. Clean the tubes out real good with brake cleaner. I then had to heat the end of the tube up to soften the plastic and then was able to shove them back on far enough to catch the little hook in the metal that holds them in place. Once they cool down and shrink back up tight your set.
