Default Window Problem

Ok the drivers side window just started this, what it is doing is like it is going up crooked. The front is not coming up all the way. The back is almost perfect. I took the panel off and tinkered with it but that did not do anything.

What is the deal, the motor works fine up and down?

Thanks for the help.

Check to see that the rivits of the window motor mechanism are not lose and have widen he hole that the rivet goes through in the door.

If the rivets prove to be ok, inspect the regulator and if seems ok lube it up - penetrating oil is fine as it will be a little tough to get to the tracks that the rollers ride in. also check a few of the previous window threads for pics and common cause's.
g/l.

Thanks guys. And it looks like the bolt hole is slightly bigger than it should be. But I also was given a link on another site. Here it is
