Don't know exactly what you need to fix it, but f-body windows are well known for having problems. The motor isn't strong enough for a window that big, plus our windows have a "curve" in them to blend with the body. I've never had problems with the window going down, but raising them is a different issue, they usually need a rest, or I have to pull up on them. Other than that, it's a very common problem.

If the motor is out its not too bad too change if you don,t mind drilling some holes in the door to access the rivets holding in the window motor.
