Mine is in an odd position. It seems like it leans to far into the car toward the top. Also on the A pillar weather stripping, it never goes straight into the groove. It on the outside of it on the bottom and the inside at the top...
Only good news is i got the passenger side aglined in like five minutes...

Easier way
to align a window. The easiest way I ever found was to loosen ALL the adjusments (especially the two tracks in the door).
Hand set the window in the full up position to where it needs to be
in the 3 axis (Fore/aft, up/down and tilt). Then tighten all the screws/bolts. The AIM is at assembly when everything is loose to begin with. It is extremely difficult to get the window back into trim using the individual adjustments if you don't start with a close alignment.

For me, same thing - passenger side is perfect. Seals nice. Drivers side is a bit too low, particularly towards the rear. It's like the window just is not going up high enough and is cocked slightly.
Man is it noisy at hiway speeds!

AIM is the Assembly Instruction Manual that the GM assembly plant used to put the car together. If you own a Vette, you NEED the AIM (it is year specific).
Here's the one for your 77'. It will be the best 20 bucks you'll ever spend. If you don't have the funds, PM me your email address and I'll send you the page on window adjustment.
