Default 74 Drivers side Window chunking noise upon closing

Just wondering how to fix a chunking noise at the very end of the power window closing. It opens to about 98% and makes a chunking noise at the very end, and it will continue to make the noise if I keep pressing the power window. Other than that it works fine.

Just found the solution to my problem. I took the regulator off and noticed the gears on one end were worn right off, probably near the end of my window roll up. Has anybody used the power window regulator sector gear that you attach to the original gear with 3 screws? How does it work?
