Exclamation power windows on my 2008 shelby

Hey guys, My passenger side power window is acting crazy. It only moves up or down a couple of inches, each time I push the switch. Regardless if I hold the switch or not, it just increments up and down. I tried disconnecting the power, but nothing has helped. I tried the procedure for calibrating them holding the switch 2 seconds at full up and full down. Any idea whats going on with it?
Thanks,
Mach

Does the passenger window behave the same way regardless of whether you use the driver's side or passenger side window switch?

It sounds to me that the window regulator may be sticking. Did this just happen suddenly or is this a problem that's been going on for some time and gradually getting worse?
You'll need to pull the door panel to inspect the regulator and see what's happening when you press the window switch. With any luck, it may just have dirty joints that'll free up with a liberal spray of WD40.

It was working fine. I haven't driven the car in a couple of months, went out to drive it and found the window problem. Could be a sticking window, acts like its binding up. I will try some silicon spray .
