Window motor rebuild?
My drivers window gets progressively slower the further down it goes. Does this seem like motor is shot? Can you open window motor case and rebuild it like the older ford window motors?

Bronco, mine did that when I bought it. It was just binding from a lack of lubricant on the gears/rails inside the door. I pulled the door trim off the inside of the door (driver's), and I sprayed the rails and moving parts with a silicone lube while rolling it up and down, after 10 times, it would go all the way down again. After two days it worked perfectly. Just took time for the lube to work itself into all the nooks and crannies.
On a side note, it wasn't much fun cleaning the silicone lube off the glass over the next week...

I had the same issue. The motor was fine, it was just fighting friction and the friction was winning. 
I just used silicone spray (the clear type not the greasy type) to drench the felt channels. It has been fine for 2 years now.
