Weird Window

So, the driver's window quit working a few weeks ago. So, I go get fuel before strategically parking in the garage and try the window. It works. But wait. There's more information in the details. It goes down all the way and almost all the way up. The motor does not stop running in the up direction.

We all know how bad it is to not have a working driver's window, right? No drive thru service. And if travelling on toll roads without an E pass, paying tolls is a bear.

So, tonight, I take off the door panel and the window regulator looks fine. It's not bent. The plastic thingy is intact. Could the gear on the motor be worn and it's jumping gears when the window is almost all the way up?

I had one on the shelf (floor, really), so I finally convinced myself to replace it.

Viola. Window works fine now.
