So one day I was working on my window in my 2001 Trans Am, everything fell down, and came out of track. I got everything back into track and hooked back up and now when I roll my window up it is really jerky and when it gets close to being all the way up the window angles a little bit and leaves about an 1/8-1/16" gap at the top. Just enough to keep rain out, but enough to just let my interior get soaked when I wash it. I was wondering if anybody has any idea what I may of done wrong while putting it back together?

Thank you in advanced for your help.

Sounds like you did just the motor without the regulator if it all fell down and came out of track. The window glass/regulator channels are probably crooked. Pull the door panel off, reinstall the switch, and tweak it little by little till it goes up straight. If the big spring came unwound then you need to wind it back up the proper amount of times.

This can only happen if something breaks. In addition to the other things that could have gone awry, which FiredUpZ28 points out, you should also search for the cause of the mishap. It could be any number of things with the mechanism. You may have to take both doors apart and compare the two sides to see what's wrong.

That has helped me countless times

I did use the other door when I was putting the messed up door back together. I'm pretty sure that the spring is messed up because when I tore the door apart it was just laying at the bottom of it, and when I put it back in it will just fall out.
How do you wind it back up the proper amount of times, if that's what is wrong with that part?
