Question is, is this a common issue and if so, is it due to the motor getting tired or is there a more simple explanation.I'm finding it is worse on the left front door but the drivers one isnt all that much better....probably irrelevant.Any ideas welcomed

I think it started recently because when I start up at 5am in the morning I wind the window down to get the dew off.
