I have replaced the entire system for the window. Drilled rivets and replaced the motor and pulley(s). The window worked great for about 1 year and then started working intermittently. The master switch was replaced X2. Worked great for about 2 months and then started to fade. Pounding on the door panel just above the door handle made the window work for about 2 weeks. Now nothing. I do hear a "click" when the switch is engaged for window to go up and to go down. No window movement, tho. Internet Blogs state to replace the regulator, which from what I have seen is the pulley and cable system. Am I on the right track?
What makes this problem better or worse?

It sounds like the motor might be bad. I'd pull the panel and check for power at the motor when activating the switch. If you have battery voltage then the motor is bad.
