What kind of car is it?
I would check this link first.

The other thing you can try is to take the door panel off and then using a box cutter knife, to cut the rubber channel out that runs below the window opening. As the rubber gets older it might slow the window down. I've removed the lower part of the rubber on my Honda's and Toyota and it made it run like new. It's much cheaper than a new motor.

I would spray silicone all around the glass channel in the door.
It could be a weak motor, sticking tracks or a failing regulator.
Some cars use a cable operated regulator that gets frayed others get damaged wheels.
Other cars use a gear train and can get dry mechanisms.

Check this video out. It cant really come out of the channel.
It appears the motor and regulator are one unit. Not a bad job.

If the motor works it generally works unless the car is really old or for some reason has seen lots of duty. Probably thoroughly clean and lube with silicone spray.
Since it works in the lower part OK but then slows down closer to the top probably there is something slowing it down, like dirt.

Is it a Camry? If so everything about the power windows stinks! The motors are weak, the wiring frequently brakes, and the switches sometimes go bad as well (moreso than most cars).
