Default Window Pulls "Away" from body of car above 75mph...

I have a very low mileage 1998 1SZ SS camaro that I picked up a couple months ago. The previous owner didn't drive it much and the car is quite clean but I'm also running into a bunch of little crap that needs taken care of. This is the first f-body I've owned that has manual windows, and I was stoked to not have to install AONTHER windowtrix kit and new motors, at least I was until I drove the car above 75mph. I can visibly see the window start to bow outwards away from the car. A bunch of wind starts rushing in like I have the window rolled down an inch or two, and then I lightly place the back of my hand against the widow and feel it flopping back and forth. I'm not sure what to do or what to check. I took the panel off to make sure that the little felt window guides were in one piece and adjusted correctly. No missing or broken stuff that I saw. Only happens on the driver's side. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Something is broken. Those felt guides push the glass the other way, so they aren't going to be the problem.

Things to look out for:
- Classic broken roller (on the bracket that attaches to the glass) that engages the rear vertical track.
- Loose/broken regulator
- Loose horizontal track that bolts to the inside of the door
- Loose/broken door panel
