Door open or closed? Roof rail seals and window adjustments can increase drag significantly on the window glass. Can you let off the switch, come back and continue to raise the window?
Are all your switches and contacts clean and good?
The fact that the motor will spin forever and basically has no limit to the travel under normal conditions makes this one seem like binding. There's no "clocking" of the motor gear. Motor doesn't know, or even care, where your window is. If it's not hitting the stops, something is wrong. The motor should push it to the limit of the window regulator gear or until it hits the top or bottom stops. Except when it binds up somewhere and the internal thermal overload cuts it off.
So that tells me your motor may be reaching it's internal thermal overload stop too early or something is binding when it starts to get to where it needs to be and stopping the motor from turning. It's really odd that the window's stopping BELOW the belt molding. This tells me your bottom stop is too far low. Typically, there's about 1/16" or so of the very top of the window arc sticking up out of the inner/outer window seals or it's very close to being flush.
Alignment for the top stops? If you bind anywhere it can cause your motor to stop a bit early.
I'm not there. So I can't see anything. Got any video by chance?
If you have time, watch this vid. I'm not trying to insinuate you did anything wrong, but you know what went on inside your door, and it may help you on adjusting stuff.
