I doubt that it is your gears. In my experience when the gears go, you can't "Help" the glass up. Sometimes you can "Pull" it up but usually it is frozen in place. If it acts like the motor just isn't strong enough to do the job it is probably due to one of two things:
1- Binding or stuck linkage. A little WD40 to loosen and then some white grease did wonders for my 73 with that problem
2- Replace the motor.
