I did some searching on line and found out the drive gear assembly has three eraser sized plug inside it that act like planetary gears and that these tend to go bad. After some more searching, I found that the HELP section has these plugs for $8.00 for a three pack ( there are three in each gear assembly).

So I took my door apart today, removed the motor to get at the gear assembly, opened that up and those gears where not worn, they where GONE ! Nothing left but chunks ! I cleaned it out real good, bought the new plug set, and reassembled it all. . . . My window works great now ! YAY!

I will do the passenger door tomorrow or the next sunny day, which ever comes first ! lol
Great news!
