The mechanism mounted inside the door that moves the window up and down is call a window regulator. There is also the motor and its related fuse and switches; the motor drives the regulator, which connects to the glass. I’ve read that failure of this regulator assembly is not uncommon, but be sure to check for a blown fuse, etc.

Not only does mine not seal when I open the door and whatnot, it doesn't roll down either. Just makes some ugly noises. Does this sound like a window regulator as well?

If you can grab the window and move it up and down by hand, its definitely a regulator.

Yeah, I can move it quite a bit.
Do I need to watch out for cheapo repo parts while I'm shopping for this part?
Any recommendations on cheapest decent replacement?
Thanks!
