Default Windows sometimes dont go up

Sometimes, and it seems to only do this during very warm days (ie yesterday 80+ it did it again, the windows will not go up when when they are fully down. They never give me a problem when they are partially down.

The window motors dont make a sound but they are drawing power, the voltometer drops when I press the buttons. Then randomly they will work, sometimes at the same time, sometimes one window before the other.

any thoughts?

my car does it too... I assumed it was my 15 year old stock motors, and never put much thought into it... i'll get around to troubleshooting it eventually

it's unlikely both motors are bad at once, the vert I bought had a simialar issue it was the switches, went down okay but going up when there was more of a load/current draw on the system the contacts in the switches went snafu

What would I be looking for in the switches? Resistance?

does it spin and the window just not want to move? cause if you hear the motor moving just fine the motors are re-buildable. normally the little neoprene ***** inside wear out and there's just little tiny pieces. if thats the case pull em apart and replace those *****
