One headlight comes up slow?

Is there something I can grease or anything like that? My passenger one comes up slower than my driver's one... but both are kinda slow. They weren't like that before, but the car sat (indoors) since September.

The motors are hideously expensive new, it's like $250 per motor. You can find them for quite a bit less used.

Jesus... that can't be right. I didn't pay much for my headlight motors on my Corolla... I got them from Autozone! I think they were like $60 something each!

That's what they cost if you get them from a stealership. I haven't been able to find any parts stores that carry remans.
