My friggin' window's outta whack....
When I autocrossed my car, somehow my window got knocked outta whack. There is a little guide track that the edge of the window fits in and I managed to line that back up, and the little arm that fits in the track at the bottom of the window was knocked out but I managed to get that in... but something still isn't right. I have to help it close and the window is not secure (if I grab it and move it from side to side it moves fairly freely). At least now I've gotten it to stay closed instead of open all the time so that it stops raining in my car, but does anybody know why my window still isn't rolling up and down correctly? It just doesn't close all the way unless I help it straighten out, and it kinda clunks into place when I roll it down. This is really hard to explain...here's a picture to help (maybe)....
Is the glass still on its track(crank)? Check your alignment bolts/rivots, If the crank mech. is rivited , then you might have busted one or more loose. Alignment is VERY critical, so the window stays at the propern angle going up and down. If the glass has seperated from the crank then it needs to be sealed back in place. None of this is very easy in my opinion, just take your time and be paitent.

How can I check? I can't really get to anything. There's only a few holes in the door to see the window with... and it doesn't look like the door separates...
I'm REALLY not trying to be a smart butt when I write this, So don't get offended. But, since it's fairly difficult to discuss alignment of the track system without pictures, why not look at the other door to see what is not correct on the driver door? You should be able to quickly get an idea of what is different (and probably the source our your problem). Best of Luck!

Thanks guys, you're being very helpful.
Thanks for the pic!
And I should've thought to look at the other door....
