Try & spray WD40 or a similar lube into the window channel on both ends of the glass, It may have just needed lubrication. It also may be a tired motor or faulty switch.
Seems like you need window motors. When you flip the switch to roll them down, the window basically "falls" down slowly, but when rolling them back up, the motors aren't strong enough anymore to slide the heavy window back into place. Unfortunately that is usually the only solution when it comes to power windows. Your switch could be bad, but if you tried all switches in the car it is definitely your motors.
you should check the fuses first, then ensure power to the motor in the passenger side if no power check the switches for the power windows. Also it is common for window motors/ regulators to fail and have to be replaced. If the driver's one is running slowly remove door panel and lubricate the cables and tracks with some rust check or wd 40 etc, etc... and silicone lube on the guide tracks at either end of the window. hope this helps
you might try cleaning the window channels where the glass sides in the door frame..with some form of air pressure then coat the runners with 100% silicone spray which will make that glass slide up and down with greater ease
You can try a dry lube or lithium grease on the slow ones, but it sounds more like you need new window motors. Unfortunately Saturns are plastic cars, and... The window motors are not too difficult to change and it requires removing the outer door panel to make it easier to access.
buy some Silicone spray from any auto parts store, spray the felt channnels that the windows move up and down in with the spray, soak them good, this will free them up.
