Power windows shake

I have a 2009 ranger sport and my power windows shake when they go down but are fine going up. I took the panel off the door and greased the track and a few other parts in the door but it hasn't fixed it. And I'm at a loss on how to fix it :(.

Anybody have any Ideas? All suggestions are helpful!?!

Thanks

Well since most of us have had this issue I'm assuming it is a flaw with the parts and not something that developes.

I'm going to have to agree with this statement. My dads 02 did this, my buddies 98 does this and mine does this. And when I converted mine to power windows I used brand new window regulators and motors all from Ford. I'm thinking it's a flaw in the design of the tracks.

It's kind of annoying, but I've just grown use to it.

Agreed on the 03 mine only did it after they rebuilt my passenger door after i hit the deer but they left a nut on one of the tracks lose you might try adjusting then a little tighter to see if that helps.
