Question: I have a 99 chevy truck that has a window that works when it

My truck window will not work on hot days during the summer here in Florida. I have not taken the motor out as of yet because you have to drill the rivits out. Any suggestions what might cause thie. I have tapped on the motor thinking it might be the brushes.
