Bothers 1 pice window help!

Iv had my brothers 1 pice windows in for a while now but I'm having trouble. When I roll the drivers window up it is really loose and lets it fall outward from the top channel. I can't find anyware in the instructions how to keep the bottom on the front track in place. It moves back and forth and Keeps the glass from staying lined up. Has anyone had this problem?

It should have came with window tape which is like adhesive. It lays in the window regulator and secures the glass. I installed mine about a year ago.

It's not the channel that holds the glass, it's the front track that the glass slides in that attaches to the small aluminum triangle that bolts to the front corner. It's that part that was originally part of the wing window that the felt sits in

Re: Bothers 1 pice window help!

The front channel is held in place by the triangle up top and and sheet metal screw down low. The screw comes in from the front side of the door. (the panel that the hinges are bolted to)

My guess is that either that screw has come loose or fell out all together.
