Default Back Electric Window Issue

I'm having trouble with the pass. side back window. Jumping off track? Motor seems to be working fine. I'd like a decent diagram of how to get at it before I start tearing into the panels. Any advice would also be welcome.
Thanks

I don't have a diagram, but getting to it is very easy. First check out this thread for removing the rear seat. Once it's out, it will be self-apparent how to get the panel off: basically just some screws. The window workings will be right there.

Thanks for the seat info. - very helpful.
After a long winter's nap, I have it apart, and removed and remounted the motor. This helped for about 6 up/down cycles. What's the clicking when the window stops moving during the travel? Teeth skipping? No visible tooth damage. Bad motor?
Now that I'm in here, what maintenance should I perform? Any tips on efficiently greasing the moving parts or the guide post?

Now I've taken the window motor drive assembly apart, and it appears I need a set of 3 window gear bushings, as I assume the bits of broken plastic I cleaned out were the originals.
If anyone'sdone thisbefore I'd appreciate any tips or experiences. Ifyou're doing it now,the set of 3 bushings at LMH 5.0 is $7.

The clicking noise is the skipping teeth. I need some for my right side. You found just the gears for the motor? New motors are an arm and a leg from ford, and the ones I have now were purchased as a set on Ebay.

I found a set of 3 bushings. I've yet to find the plastic gear in which they seat, hopefully phone calls during business hours will locate one.

Please chime away.
There are 3 of them? that fit in between the round plastic gear and the 3 lobed metal shaft that engages the toothed track which moves the window. Is that right? I haven't seen one apart that's not broken.

Yeah, three gears that sit around another gear in the center. There was one guy selling them on ebay for cheap. Check there.

I didn't find anything useful on eBay. Do you have the item # or the search criteria?
