Hi all.

If you find your window rolls up crooked, and-or has excessive fore-aft
play,  inspect to see if the foam type material at a bracket on upper
rearward end of door where the glass passes, is missing. This foam helps to
guide and support the window as its rolled up and down. My door was missing
this foam and after using it this way for a while, the window ended up
falling into the door when rolled all the way down. (The white plastic
guide would jump the track).

The repair consisted of using "Goop" to glue on a ~ 1/2" thick piece of
fairly hard closed cell foam over the entire length of this bracket. Since
the ends of the foam would spring up while the glue set, very clever and
knowledgable friend offered up a lengthwise split piece of rubber hose to
use as a clamp to hold the work in place. This worked exceedingly well. So
far, the repair is holding.

Neil.
