yeah don't be so cheap next time and spend the 15 bucks it costs for a new switch...install a new one and it should solve the issue

Since you replaced the switch with another that seems like its the problem. I would get a multimeter and test the voltage going into the window motor with the switch in the up and down position. If you get power in one direction and not the other them you need a new switch. If have power in both but movement in only one the you need a new motor.

got a cavalier with that problem ...the motor is to weak to push the window back up more than a inch at a time but it goes down just fine
not sure if thats your problem but its something to look at
