Default Driver's window

Yesterday when I put my window down I got a clunk when it got all the way down. When I went to put it up it wouldn't go past half way and I figured it was the regulator. Took the door apart this morning and the regulator was completely of the rear track. I took the track off and didn't really notice anything wrong with the track. Can't even see how the rollers could have come out of the track. I'm new to these cars and was wondering if this is a problem or is something maybe worn out. The car only has 65k miles but i noticed that the motor has been replaced

Never had a problem with mine. Probably when they replaced the window motor on yours they didn't have the wheel of the regulator in the track all the way.

From the **** job he did putting the motor in, that's probably true. I noticed that when the window goes all the way down, the motor gets to the end of the travel and the whole inner door flexes. Is there some kind of adjustment or is this normal operation?

Thats pretty normal. Our doors are fiberglass so some flex does occur.
