the teeth on the large gear(C) may have sheared off. the upper stops may be set too low.
the picture shows what is inside. somewhere on this site there is a better picture of the door innards shown from the outer side.

Thanks for this. Hope I don't have to go that route. May get some time today to see.
That repair piece looks like the best idea to me, shouldn't be too difficult, I'm guessing instructions would tell you which side of gear plate is best to install repair teeth, if your handy, I'm sure you could make your own repair piece too, , , really, it's 50yr old technology, pretty simple stuff, it will go well for you, enjoy the time tinkering on your car,,,,,,teddy
Torn between fix plate or replace the whole regulator.
Here's a picture of the regulator - including a close up of Grandma's teeth!
Makes me wonder what the left side looks like... I hate to think of it. This wasn't something that I had thought I'd be doing.
Only have had the car for a few weeks.... started out with replacing the AC with a Vintage Air unit (awaiting for it to ship).
The right door was messed up... couldn't lock it with the key, then if you happened to lock it - well that was that. Took out the latch - did some minor repairs there, now she locks and unlocks as she should.
Putting the window up and down while working on the stupid latch, well there ya go... Busted off some teeth on the regulator gear.
If the left side goes, at least I have a clue now what I need to do. There is so much more to do, that I'm taking the attitude that if the left blows, I'll deal with it then.
Well isn't this why we buy C3 s , it's just great times workin on them, ,,,,ya could have bought a new one, but not as much fun and rewarding time togeather, what year is yours, those arms look like they have been exposed to a lot of harsh weather

1975 - coupe - 1980 Camaro Z28 motor.... a bit of a freak, but nice looking!
The right side is probably in much better shape, it doesn't get used nearly as much. You won't be sorry if you just replace the whole regulator, the rollers and the arm pivot are likely worn also.
Designer Imagines A Corvette That Looks More Like a Corvette Than the Corvette
Slideshow: A Jaguar designer's personal project imagines what a modern front-engined Corvette might look like if Chevrolet revisited the golden age of the Stingray.
If you can hear the motor running and the window is not moving, the teeth are stripped off the gear.
Power window issue
