One thing my mechanic told me about C2/C3 windows being 'slow', before and after motor replacements, is dealing with entire window assembly even though you are only focused on 1 issue. It will pay off.
While your window is suffering electrical issues, and you are into solving it's operation, it's best to go over the whole enchilada. Why? You're already in there...treat the entire mechanics of that assembly! You might go in that system only once in maybe 50 years, right?
Here's why! Last century, when the C2 and C3 were built, the factory loved using gobs of the white lithium lubricant, on EVERYTHING mechanical.
While it did provide great lubrication for it's day, over time it became a magnet for everything dirty. That alone over the decades would gum up any and all systems.
So, while you door panels are torn apart, window removed, exposing all the inner workings...remove it all and give those parts a degreasing bath. You would be surprised how that will loosen things up. Upon reassembly, use 21st century lubrication to bring your C2/C3 into the future.
Both my C3's have been treated in such a way.
Might not be the end all, but it would not hurt either! Any improvement on the ease of operating those windows is an improvement. This is just one of them.
