Slow rear door windows

Slow rear passenger door windows
Both of the rear passenger door power windows on my '93 open/close very slowly, even more slowly when I try to operate both at once. I've tried adding some lube to the tracks to reduce friction without gain. Does anyone have ideas on this other than changing the motors? My only doubt about the motors is that both are working the same, and it doesn't seem like they have been used enough to wear them out.
Thanks!
Thanks!

excerpt from post:
"Biggest cause for older 4Runner rear windows to go slow is a dry window run, dried out grease in the window motor, this all gets thick in colder weather anf a worn gear shaft in the window motor itself, the extra load from dry runs will wear these out quickly, use silicone spray for all your window runs and rubber seal, but dont get silicone spray even close to it if your in primer prepping for paint, the results will make you sick Also, while your trying to roll the window down, look at your dash lights (ie check engine, alt, seat belt, ABS etc), engine off and see if they dim quite a bit, if they do, this is a good indication its getting power to the motor, just hard turning, if they dont dim, it can be other items, most common is the rear wiper park switch, and a latch detection switch, in that order too.

Thanks. I should have been more explicit - I'll revise my original post. The issue is with the rear passenger door windows, not the tailgate window.
I'll check the internals for gunk and such, though, just to rule that out.
