Last week I was out cruising and I started to roll the driver's side window down. It started coming down fine, then about 3/4 of the way down the windows started getting off track. By the time I stopped the window it had come off track so bad that the top left corner of the window had moved over the center of the door :ripped:

It was like the left side started moving right and the side nearest the mirror kept going down. Like it just rotated clockwise. I was able to pull on the window to get it rolled up and aligned correctly, but now everytime I try to roll it down this happens. Anyone else had this happen, or know how to fix it?

Take off the door panel. I can almost guarantee the roller is broke on the left side.

+1 These windows don't come off the track. They break.

Well that sucks, I'll tear into it this weekend and have a look at what's going on and keep an eye out for the broken roller. At least the A/C is working in this 95 degree heat.
