Hal talks about his Spider having some sort of window virus.  I think my 90 
Spider has the same virus.  My driver's side window operates normally.  The 
passenger side window lowers quickly, but when I raise it, about halfway up it 
slows down to the point where it appears it will stop.  It keeps going but 
just barely.  If I open the door it seems to go up better, but it is still too 
slow.  I took the door panel off and looked inside and lubed everything as 
well.  I did the same on the driver's side.  I noticed that on the passenger 
side window, when the window is in the completely down position, the cable has 
a lot of slack in it.  Half way up the cable starts to get really tight (at 
the same point where it starts to slow down)  and in the full up position the 
cable has a lot of tension in it.  On the other window, the cable tension is 
the same thru out the operating cycle.  Therefore, I have concluded that the 
cable needs adjusting on the passenger side.  Now, my question is, how do I 
adjust the cable tension?  Should I remove everything and rewind the cable on 
the motor pulley manually?  I'm afraid if I take it apart I won't be able to 
get the cable pack in the correct position.  Any comments?  

Thanks,
