Windows Problems

I have an 82 Rx7 GSL and the driverside window when down falls off the track all the time and I have to take the whole door panel off to fix it which I have had to do in the rain several times. Any ideas on how to stop the window from falling off of the track?

You may need to adjust this bolt:


Loosen the bolt, move it a tiny bit back or forth then roll the window up and down a few times.

So when the window was broken at first i investigated and this bolt was not there so i went and bought one. to fix the window i loosen this bolt and put the glass back on the track and i tighten the bolt to the left side. should this bolt be loose or tightened to the right side of the hole?

It shouldn't be loose. If something is bent in the door it may need to be on the left or right. You need to tighten the bolt and the roll the window up and down to be sure.

I have it tight. Is there a bolt or something that holds the top end in? When its rolled down it stays in the track but after rolling it up and rolling it down again it is no longer in the track and I wont be able to roll it up again.
