Default Window won't go all the way up

Last week my driverside window jumped down on a sharp turn...I had to hold on to the window and jiggle it when hitting the switch to get it about 90% up. A group of cars saw this as I passed them with my super gangster music, haha.

I disassembled the door yesterday to find one of the metal brackets didn't have the metal with the round rubber attached to it (pardon my expert language). When I put the door cover back on, I noticed the window was angled so part of it hit the car but its fine.

Anyways, I re-attached it but it still doesn't go all the way up. I'm going to disassemble again this weekend but I'm going to try taking out the entire metal portion to get a better look inside. I also plan to change the valve gaskets.

Any advice or links to diagrams would be appreciated. This is the second time I'm getting dirty with the car, and it feels good.
