Over time I've had to replace those little gears in all four of my 
'67's window motors.  I never had any problem finding them at any 
parts store.  Just ask for a window gear kit for the oldest Imperial 
their computer knows about (which is typically about '74).  The kit 
comes with a little packet of grease.  I seem to remember that there 
are two sizes of gear available, so you may want to bring your old 
gear with you to compare.

Rebuilt motors are easily obtained from parts stores too.  The front 
and rear doors' motors are the same on each side of the car, but the 
passenger side motors are mirror images of the driver side ones, so 
they don't interchange.  (And the power vent window motors are 
another beast altogether, but I have crankety vent windows instead, 
so I don't have to deal with those.)
