Power Windows are slow what do I need?

I'm guessing this means window regulators. Do the motors usually go bad too or do I need just the regulators?

Seems like I've seen on this forum that slow windows = Regulators but I've got an appointment at the local indi shop and want to make sure I've got the right parts when I head in there Wednesday.

I bought the regulator last week. The guy's charging me $35/window for his labor which I was pretty happy with.

thanks!
Nick

btw this is in my 124

more than likely, you just need to clean and lube the parts, and tighten up the bolts BEFORE your regulators fail
www.dieselgiant.com has a nice DIY toutorial on opening up the doorpanels.
