Yeah my 93 300e has the same issue... going out it will be sluggish and i would have to assist it with my hand.... when closing it, it works just fine? And sometimes it will open fine too... I don't get it. Hopefully, nothing is broken back there, as I really don't want to rip apart my headliner to find out.

I lubed the silver rails on both sides and it seemed to help. You can see the rails from the outside with it open.

dont stay in this forum much anymore.... i basically did the same thing as shdoug... dont use wd40 because it will leak down on to your head liner....


owe... and i changed the switch... im sure it didnt need it... and i probably could have just cleaned the metal prongs on the old one.... but i got a good deal on the switch so i replaced it as well....
