The gearbox and motor is the same as the electric window motors (I have been told).
They have a plastic gearwheel with a metal centre and eventually crack and jam in the gearbox.
If this is the problem you can get replacement gears from the US vendors and also in Europe.
Which continent are you on?
I've done my windows, I bought a third gear ready for when the headlamp motor fails.
