Side window falling down

My side window in my f-150 is falling down on me. Not all the way, but about an inch or so when I'm riding. Most of my window channel felt is gone, but is there anything in the mechanism that can wear out?

If you pull the wiper motor out and remove the gear cover there are 3 plastic type bushings that become brittle or break and allow the gear to slip and the window to drop , easy fix , parts at any auto store for 15 bucks or so.

Is your window electrically controlled, or is it a manual "roll-up" type?

Ha Ha, I was wondering about the "wiper motor". But this has no motor, it's all manual.

Pull the door panel and check it out, teeth might be worn down on the regulator

If it's only dropping an inch or so it's the the window regulator.

If the window falls down to the bottom of the door, the plastic window roller has broken.
