Window motors in parallel

We are considering using two window motors in parallel to power a lifting arm. Since worm gear transmissions cannot be back-driven, and since the motors would be working together on the same axis, we are concerned that they may bind up.
Does anyone have experience with this?
If so, how did you control both motors?

Thanks.
