Has anyone encountered the slow up & down of the tailgate window on thier fullsize blazer and if so do you know what to do to get it going normal again.

I use a sililcon spray lubricant in the window channels, both in the fiberglass top and the channels inside the tailgate. See if it moves up any faster with the tailgate not completely closed. Be careful not to jam the glass into anything. If it is faster the channels on the top need attention. New channels are available through LMC and various others but are a pain to install.
