The right, front window just stopped working. I can hear the motor working,
but it stops after about a second. The window might come down an inch or
so, but usually it will not move.


I can manually raise the window. When fully raised, it gradually slides
down while I am driving.

Any idea of the likely culprit, and repair process ?

Is it more likely the motor (I guess they call it an actuator , maybe ?)
or a window off-track ?


Thanks for any tips.

Sounds like the gears have stripped in the regulator.
That's about a $65 part (model years 99-00) from
http://www.chryslerpartsdirect.com/
You will have to take it out to make sure it's not the motor.
The motor runs about $79

Your basically going to have to take the door panel off and get to
the motor. Watch the door trims plastic edges, they are dang sharp.

Possibly off track, the plastic wheels that ride in the track like to
break. Unfortunately you can't get the wheels, you'll have to buy the
assembly.

Whatever it is, you'll see it as soon as you remove the door panel.

Hi James,
Window regulator, like Doug said. A piece of plastic causes the
whole thing to be replaced: http://www.----------.com/windregu.jpg
