window problems

alright......right off the bat...I know this has been covered before, I ran a search, my problem seems to be different. the window rolls up smoothly(as in little effort) but it seems like the regulator is pushing the rear of the window up faster then the front.....it keeps sliding away from the rear channel. does anyone know how to ajust the regulator?

your window is loose. Take off the door trim and check the regulator bearings and attachment hardware.

There are two bolts which adjust the window regulator for the proper lifting angle. They are under the door panel, and are towards the rear edge of the door.
