I've noticed alot of people having troubles with their electric window motors and thought I should right up a quick guide on how to fix them!
Step one: Remove the motor from the mechanism by undoing the 3 bolts holding it, (can be done without removing from mech, just makes it harder to get the cog straight enough to bite) then you'll be left with this.

Top
Step two: Check the outta cog and see if it’s loose or if it falls out like mine did!
Step Three: Take the metal cover off the top of the motor, by unclipping it at the sides and try to stop the sticking sealant getting in/around the plastic cog inside.
And heres the problem causing a shakey window going up, getting stuck etc a faulty sur clip!
Step Four: Remove the sur clip and check the plastic cog still has all its teeth. (Should be fine aslong as you haven’t continually tried putting the window up/down when it 'Breaks').
They shall be reunited!
Step Five: Place the cog back in to the motor lining it up with the plastic cog on the other side.
Step Six: Go to your local engineering shop/garage and get a new surclip if possible, if not you can reuse your old one but there’s always the chance it'll pop off again as its lost its tension.
Step Seven: Put the cover back and reattach to mechanism
Step Eight: Enjoy the cool breeze!
Hope this helps all those people with electric window problems!
Ps. Sorry for the crappy/big images my computers being crap and not letting me resize.
