Symptom was the window sticking in the up position, never down or any place in the middle, only all the way up, maybe one time in ten.
Also, when stuck in the up position, when I tried to lower it, the dashboard voltmeter dropped a little bit. So, the motor was getting power, but it was stalled.
The only way to get the window down was to check it after going over a speed bump or some equally jolting/flexing task. Then, it rolled right down.
I replaced the plastic bushings and lubed the mechanisms. No help.
Solution:
If you look you will see that the top edge of the glass goes fairly deep into a weather strip pocket or slot in the top window frame. So, I thought maybe the window was getting pinched or jammed in some way, in that slot. So, I rolled down the window and put a length of 1/4" cord in the slot, so the window would not roll up quite as far into the slot as it did before.
Six weeks later, no stuck window, not once.
