Mine was too. Best to replace, but I got by by drilling the hole bigger for the front-most channel screw. That way you can adjust it back or forward to get it as snug as possible without binding. Then, spray some white silicone grease in the channel.
Worked great for me.

Are you sure you have the regulator positioned correctly? There are two 10mm bolts toward the rear edge of the door that adjust the way the regulator lifts the window, if they are not adjusted properly, that can also cause the problem you are having.

I pulled the entire shebang out & lubed it up with grease, the sprayed with WD-40. Reassembled and drilled the hole towards the front of the car bigger (by bigger I mean oblong, bigger left to right). Sprayed white grease I got from auto supply store in the channels, ran the windows up & down while playing with the new adjusting hole. Found a spot where it went up & down & stayed on track, tightend 'er up.
No more problems.
NOTE TO jr69187-It may have been your post I learned the hole trick from. It was certainly on this forum!

True, but with his markup and international shipping rates, it's going to be more than what he paid. Still, if he'd sell them for both for less than the price of one, I'd consider buying them.
