Default Window motor dying?

When i try to roll up my drivers side window it stops when it gets like 90% of the way up. Then i have to wait, it goes up a little bit, wait, it goes up a little again, until it finally goes all the way up. Is this what happens when your motor is dying?

Yep, buy a new motor. You're window could fall off the track because of this.

Unlikely unless the motor completely falls apart. Even then, the window probably wouldnt fall off the track, just slide down into the door.

Go here for more info on replacing the window motor:

You can do it yourself. You can get a Seimans motor from Autozone for $55 (with lifetime warranty). Its easy to replace the window motor. It only takes about 30min. I did mine a few months ago.

Did it actually fall off the track or did the whole assemby slide down?
