Hey Ken,

Well . . . you're going to have to at least remove the door panel to diagnose the problem.  It's really not that bad.

It sounds like the bushing inside the window motor gear has disintegrated.  eBay item number 170051379192 is this exact part, and you can probably find it at any major auto parts store as well -- less than $10.

However, to replace it, you have to remove the window motor from the door.  This little bushing lives inside the gearbox on top of the window motor, and holds the motor gear against the window regulator gear.  When the bushing disassembles itself into plastic dust, the motor gear no longer contacts the regulator gear, so you can hear the motor whirling away, but the
 window doesn't move.

While you're in there, clean ALL the old grease off of everything you can see and replace it with new lithium grease.  Do this inside the window motor gearbox as well.  Once you get it all reassembled, you'll be amazed at how fast, smooth, and quiet the window will move.

Good luck!

Elijah
