Go to advanced and get a power window gear kit. It's like $14 I think. Take the door panel off clamp the window up and take the window motor out. You'll take it apart and it's a plastic gear inside thy you have to pull out and replace. The little rubber pieces u have to kind of force in but they are what keeps the gear in place to turn right. I had to do this with both my windows a couple months apart. I haven't had a problem since
