crooked side window?

I left work early today (only 6:15!) and decided to cruise home with the windows down. Upon returning home, the passenger window would not go up more than 30%, and it seemed to stop due to mechanical interference. After looking a little closer, the entire piece of glass looks crooked in the door, it's probably tilted 10 deg towards the rear of the car.

Is this another regulator problem, or do I have a more serious issue on my hands?


Thanks in advance guys.

Prob regulator or it may have slipped out of the clamp. I just did my regulator - made crunching noise...

The front end of the window did slip out of the clamp. My indy fixed it in an hour, realigned the window, no big deal. Just wanted to put up the conclusion for future victims...

DutchTreat in Lawndale, ask for Robert, 310-793-2300. Mostly an air-cooled shop, but they're honest.
