Default window not aligned?

hey i dont know if this is a common problem but in my car the window does not go up straight (one side goes up faster then the other so its on a tilt) nor does it go up as it suppose to like it misses the hole kind of where it is suppose to be in when it is all the way up so it is sticking out. anything that you guys know of that i can do to fix this problem.

Yea. The bracket that attaches to the window glass is known to break off at the rear roller. This will cause the behavior you are talking about. You should take the door panel off and check it. You can see this roller and bracket through the large rear cut-out in the door.

Yup.. that is it. My driver side broke the riveted roller piece that attached onto the window bracket. instead of replacing it all I welded a stud where the rivet would have been and bolted it to the bracket. I may be able to get a couple pics later tonight. I have to take the door panel apart to replace the speaker that is blown.

I would love to see some photos of what you guys are talking about. I have the same problem on my drivers' side. Anyone have a part number for the part that needs to be replaced? I don't have to replace the entire regulator assembly do I?
