Window regulator question (2013 CX-9)

Hi, my wife jammed something into the window of front driver side (2013, CX-9) and now it's making noises when going up and down. The window can still roll but feels like some parts in the mechanism is loose and making some flapping noise. Is this the motor or the regulator that needs fix? thanks!
 
The regulator and motor comes as one assembly. If the motor still runs, one or more of the plastic gears inside the assembly is probably stripped. There are videos on YouTube that show how to repair the regulator.

Both my front window regulators failed after 6 years or so. I replaced them thing with cheap aftermarket ones available on RockAuto. These lasted about as long as the OEM ones did.
