It gets used far less than the driver's side, and eventually the grease in the motor gearbox gumms it up. What happens is this. On releasing the door, the window motor and the door motor should both lower their respctive items. If the window is not fully lowered, then when the door goes back up, the window is being forced shut, not by the window motor, but by the door mechansim (via the 'return to orignal position' linkage). This puts a lot of strain on the door motor - could lead to belt failure. The cure is to dissemble the mechanism, take the door off(!) and cleanout and re-grease the window motor gearbox. If you only get the odd bit of trouble, now and then - then a little more exercise of the passenger window will keep the problem at bay - because the grease is not being allowed to gum up. This is why more probelms are had with passenger doors than driver's. Hope it helps.
