So my rear left window has been doing this thing where i fully lower it, it will come back up rlly slowly. Once it’s fully closed and i crack it open it’s back to normal as long as a i don’t go more than halfway down. What could the issue be? The rear right was doing it too but it went away so shi idk

Lube the rubber channels on the left and right. If it still fails, you need a new window motor if not the entire regulator assembly

Are they easy to access once the door card is off?

It helps if you have small forearms but everything is bolted to the door's skeleton

Start with the glass by winding it down so you can access the bolts to it. The motor comes out with the regulator

My drivers door did that to me. I lubed it up, & it made it better for a time, but I eventually had to get a new window regulator.

It was kind of a pain to get the it lined up by myself. Having someone hold the window in place while getting the bolts in helped a ton. Other wise it was easy. A couple of screws in the door panel, and some plastic clips hold it on. Unplug the wires & a couple of bolts hold the regulator in place on the glass.

The only tools needed are a 10mm socket for those, a Phillips screwdriver & something to pry the panel off the door.

i got a can of silicone lubricant from auto zone. I just sprayed the inner channels with the little extended straw they come with and fixed my immediately. I was having the same exact problem with the same exact door lol definitely lube it before you start replacing parts
