You are correct in assuming that the motor is going bad. I had to replace mine too. I paid $63 give or take a few for my new motor. yes they are difficult to get to also. Make sure that you have someone help you that has done it before.

Don't lower you window in Tenn. in December and you won't have this problem. Only guys in Miami and southern Calif. are supposed to lower their window in December.
