A window that moves slowly only in cold weather

Safety-critical vehicle advice should be treated as general discussion; use qualified repair help when a fault could make a vehicle unsafe.

The driver's window moves normally in warm weather but crawls upward on cold mornings, sometimes needing a second press near the top. I hear the motor, and the glass doesn't look visibly crooked. I'm wondering whether the channels are dirty or the regulator is beginning to fail. Is there a safe cleaning and inspection step to try before the door panel comes off? I'd like to catch it before the window gets stuck open in winter.
