window channel askew - is this adjustable?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

See pic below - the window is askew inside the channel (same on the inside of the door but it's close towards the front and further in the back). Looks like I can shim the vent window where it bolts at the bottom (about 8" below the window itself) and that helps but only by 1/8". All the seals are new.

Any ideas?

is the metal band that holds the two door skins together broken?

Is your window rolling up and down like that My truck does that when the window gets out of the track...I have old channels so in one place where its all worn out If I shut the door with the window down it pops out of the track and goes up like that until it binds up. If you look with a flashlight down inside the door you should be able to see if the window is out of it's track.

thanks guys. The metal band is intact and the window is in the track. The window rolls up and down fairly well. This was all just assembled last night.
