Can someone please help, I've adjusted the window like 400 times, and it goes up perfect, goes down perfect, but when I'm driving, with all the wind pushing against the window, if I try to roll the window up, it will become ajar either dropping in towards the passanger, or the back of the glass will start creeping up higher then the front, its insane, after driving I have to go slam the window back down into position, I don't understand, everything works until I think its fixed, and I start driving around, being all "Check me out, I'm pimp" and then William Shatner jumps up with his "Theres.... Something... On the Wing" and my passanger side window gets all messed up.

Damn that William Shatner, always messing my stuff up.

Please Help

Ah, Sorry about that, its a 1984 with electric windows
I seriously don't know what could be causing this problem, any help would be very worth it

Thank you for reading my post

My 84 has this problem on both driver and passenger side doors and can only be fixed through replacement of the scissor lift mechanism. These parts are $200 EACH through VB (NOT including the motor), however, and you'll need to also replace your window track to be sure that it all works correctly when you get done.

The reason why this happens is that the little white plastic wheels on the scissor lift track that slide along the rails get out of round from so many years of use, and occasionally lock up or disintegrate and fall apart, causing the window to not go up straight in the track, which allows it to slide front or back. No amount of adjustment will fix these little plastic wheels from being missing.

Sorry to deliver bad news - if you have the cash, it's a do it yourself fix. HTH,
