Here is my post regarding the windows (reposting from Ih8mud)

Motor taken apart – Not much to it. 2 screws hold the cover.
Warning: The cover is magnetic. It will pull the motor out when you reassem. You will need a small screwdriver to hold it in place so that it does not jump back into the cover.
To take a part the motor cover 2 philip Screws.
(Notice carbon build up – not much though to cause issues IMO)
Motor Cover, Background is the window regulator
Motor taken out
Motor Housing
Lots of carbon buildup. Cleaned off with air and then with electronic wash. No rust visible. I would suggest it’s not worth the effort in taking apart.
I also took a part the gear housing (no pics) but it’s pretty clean inside.
When I reassembled I had an issue, I could not use the end clips some reason. Not sure if this would cause an issue.
The result: Motor about the same . A bit improved but nothing great. That’s why I say not worth the effort. Unless you’ve had water up to that section – In that case electronic wash is your friend and taking it a part would be worth while.
Window Controler (pretty dirty)
To clean I used electronic wash but isopropyl would work + static free cotton tip (q tip would be fine)
Cleaned
I took it out and resprayed it with Silicon spray again. Same effect very slow up or needs a bit help
Glass Run
Glass Channel
Note: All windows seems slow
What I did next is I took the Passenger window motor out and put in the driver side.
The Window regulator I am replacing as well since it clicks so tha the update for now.
** I’ll edit my post from the top since I seem to calling the parts incorrectly
