Grease! Take the access panel off and grease the snot out of the tracks/rollers on the regulator. It don't hurt to hit the rest of the moving parts of the regulator with some too.

While your there, check out the condition/shape of your rollers. If the tracks were bone dry, if not rusty chances are your rollers arent round anymore. You can get new rollers from LMC or your local Chevy dealer. Just have them look it up for a 91 Blazer or suburban. Drill out the old rivits, install the new rollers by peening down the ends of the roller shafts to the regulator arms. It's an easy job.
