Have you actually tried providing a good ground?  You could do this by
running a wire from the negative terminal of the battery to a ground
point on the door (or better yet to the ground (frame?) of the window
motor).

I'm still cranking my windows by hand (hmm, maybe this is a good thing),
and I don't have a wiring diagram handy, so others may correct me, but
it seems like it would be worth your time to confirm that the problem
really is the ground.
