Default 1979 driver side PW click

My 1979 driver PW operates up and down properly except 1" from the top, it stops an has a clicking sound. Any ideas what parts I should order to have it fixed?
TIA

You might not need any parts or you might need all new rails, guide wheels and ......... you first need to remove the door panel, inspect the window travel and determine why it stops and what is making the clicking sound.

my first guess is the roller wheels are wore out and no longer ride in the rails properly. They reach a certain point and jam up. Less likely, unless the door has been hit would be bent rails. But the wheels and rails might be so loaded up with dirt and old dried out grease that they no longer guide. Look at it and see if you can determine a cause.
