My window pops and sounds terrible. It will pop and sound like its stripped when the window gets about 6-8" down then wont go lower but will keep popping or when it rolls all the way up.
How do I know if the motor is the issue or the regulator? Does the motor have plastic teeth that would maybe strip? I cant see the teeth on the window regulator that are in the problem area. The rollers on the window look good. Dried, but no cracks.
Any special precations to take when pulling the assy. out? I know there is a spring, it wont snap and try to take off my fingers will it?
I found this article, its kind of helpful, but not really. http://www.73-87.com/7387garage/interior/winmotor.htm
Do I use thick wheel grease or white lithium grease to lube everything?

Main thing is the learning curve on how to get the damned thing out- as in physically removing the assembly from the door. Don't worry about the spring, I've read those horror stories on random forums. That's not even an issue really. You can fit a 1/4 ratchet and extensions through the door to take the motor off, I'd fear the sharp metal from the door itself more lol. I don't think you'll know your answer about if it's the motor or regulator until you have it all the way out and taken apart.
