All motors are made up of 2 basic parts, a coil or coils of wire, and two or more magnets.

the motors found in cars and car windows contain dc motors that use a pair of brushes to make contact with the coils that in turn drive the magnet.

as u continually use the motor, the brushes are worn away due to friction, once the brushs no longer make contact with the commutator (the copper plates where the brushes come in contact with the coils) the door motor with stop working as no current is able to pass through the motor.

you either have to get the brushes replaced, or replace the motor entirely
