My 2005 Ford Explorer rear driver's side window only works "rolls up and down" from time to time, usually 1 or 2 days out of a month it works. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

I have a 2005 Explorer, bought from a dealer at 21,000. From the get go the rear windows both opened with difficulty--most often accompanied by a distinct "pop". I took it to the dealer, under warranty, and they said Ford's established fix for this know problem was to install additional rubber in the track to limit how far it went up in the track. It worked for awhile but eventually the problem resurfaced. After several adjustments they simply said "that's all we can do". Eventually the driver's rear simply stayed stuck in the up position. By now it was out of warranty (although I had the extended warranty). Ford said they would try something else, replacing a bunch of the internals--but would be charging me a $100 co-pay. I know, I know, that's not much but shouldn't Ford cover something that was never fixed? They said no--no--no.
