Rear window problem

Thanks, guess I’ll try and pull it apart and grease and inspect and replace stuff. Are there any good videos tha anyone recommends watching to see what to send not to do?
Thanks,
Jon

there are tons of 5th gen rear panel removal videos but not many 5th gen regulator and motor replacement videos (I couldn't find any when I was looking into this repair). there are some for 4th gens on youtube. I wouldn't say it's hard but it's definitely helpful to have 2 people and it's a weird working angle, you're looking up the whole time unless you remove the lift gate. I had toyota do this for me, not something I wanted to attempt
 
Took the rear panel off and window is up. Suspecting I will need to lower it to see the motor and regulator.
The blue film that is there was completely removed except at the bottom, the tar like substance was removed from most of it, betting I know who did that, think that had any impact on it?
Where is the motor back there?
I also see 6 bolts holding a speaker in on driver side and two white push pins made of plastic. Feels like a point on the back? I'd love to take some of those off as it appears they would provide me much greater access.
How does one get those out, I could take a pic, but betting someone knows, they are in a slot on opposite ends, preventing it from moving while bolts are detached.
Thanks

check this video, it's for a 4th gen but process will be similar

Darn if I didn’t get it all out and had the wrong Dorman motor.
742-600 and 742-601
Both have a star wheel type drive. Mine has a square drive with round hole in it.
Pics to follow
The one in my 4r is
85720-35160
Any leads on those at something significantly less than $300? Auto zone, Napa have nothing, or that’s what they say.
Can’t locate one at rock auto.com.
Looks like 85720-35161 might replace mine.
Any help,is appreciated, got all the dust and 1/2” of caked on kid out of the bottom of the door panel and would love to put it back together and have window operable for less than $100 if possible.
Thanks,
Jon
