Default Passenger Window Getting Stuck Going Up

Just jumped back into the C3 era and bought a 1973 Coupe. Solid car, good paint and interior, runs good. I haven't taken the door apart yet but the passenger POWER window will go down ok but gets stuck or bound up about half way up. You can wiggle it or help it some and it will go the rest of the way. Any thoughts on what I should look at once I get the door panel off??

Electric or manual. Maybe some track guides are broken or loose.

It definitely needs cleaning, lubing, adjusting, and probably a few new parts to get it working smoothly again. Been there...takes about a day to renew the smoothness
