if you here the motor turning, but the window is not moving much, the plastic bushing in the motor need replacing. There are several write ups if you do some searching on how to complete this fix on this forum. The 3 bushings can be found in the Help! Section of any chain auto store. The fix can also be made with 3 5/16 outside diameter nuts.

And if the window motor has never been replaced, get ready for a headache. Ford riveted the gear arm to the door, and it has to come out to replace the motor.

You only to drill out the rivets if you are removing the window regulator. When I replaced the motor on my truck, all that was required was to drill a large enough hole on the inner door skin to fit the socket through it to remove one of the bolts. I'll stand corrected if I am wrong though.
