You've likely stripped the plastic gear. I just replaced mine. $6 part new or $1 at the junk yard. Takes 10 mins.

Plenty on e-Bay. Sorry was $9 plus shipping. I had one in my hands at the junk yard yesterday but didn't have a torx driver to remove it.

I agree with Justin, TDS is the way to go. They are awesome to deal with, and have top quality parts! Bought one of these from them 5 years ago and everything is working wonderful to this day!

That's probably a good idea to have an extra 1 or 4 on hand!

I think what happens is the struts get lazy after time and don't lift the hatch off the mechanism and it won't go all the way up. The motor keeps running trying to push the hatch up and ends up grinding the teeth off the gear.
