Window off track!

Hi I just got a 91 Camaro RS today. I noticed that the driver side window is off the track. Gets jammed when rolling up. The back of the window goes up higher than the front until I pull on the window to straighten it out. They are manual windows. When the window is down it rattles like crazy and it’s annoying lol any help or thread I can look at?

Yes. It's pretty complicated though. You have to put in what you want to search for in the search forums box and push enter. Sorry, been reading to many of Drew's post...lol

Lots of parts in there. Probably one or more of the guide tracks is loose, or one of the rollers may have failed. Possible one of the rollers popped out of it's track, or the roller post on the bottom of the window might have broken - they tend to waller out with age, they're just peened into the steel bracket (#21). Only way to know is to tear it apart and look.

Okay thank you. I’ll pop the door panel off and check it out.
