I've reassembled my door [on my '46 Chevy truck], and the window starts going slightly sideways just over halfway up. I've bent the rails/tracks on either side of the window up (that hold the felt 'track') and it helped some, but it's still wonky. It was like this when I bought it last spring and I just don't know how to fix it.
I need to create a gap between the window, and what would be the inside (guts) of the door because the window drags the metal just after the point where the window starts going sideways. I thought that slightly bending the metal rails/tracks up would fix it, but it didn't.
Everything is oiled and rolling well, I just need to know how to stop the window from touching the metal, and causing drag, and/or how to keep it from going sideways.
Since I can't put captions with the pictures... Imagine rolling your window up with no issues, and then about halfway up one side starts getting ahead of the other (the metal bar at the bottom isn't horizontal anymore), and when you're finished rolling it up the top of your window isn't flush with the felt track (against the top of your door)...the bottom isn't horizontal anymore, its at an angle.
The blue in the last picture represents the window position (slightly exaggerated) when its rolled up. You'll notice that the bottom isn't parallel anymore, and the top of the window isn't flush with the felt track. Also, my window regulator seems to be working fine. It's well oiled, and doesn't skip. I'm at a loss.
