Default PS Door Glass Slides Back & Forth

The passenger side door glass on my 76 slides front to back. The glass stays in position with the door closed. I have to be very careful when I open the door, raise the glass and go to shut the door. The glass ends up too far forward or too far back.

I'd like to get some ideas on what has to be done to fix this before I remove the door panel.

Thanks all!!!!

When I had to remove my inner door panel, I checked out YouTube. Search "C3 Corvette "Door Panel Removal". There are a couple of good vids showing where all the hidden screws are at and how to remove the inner lock **** & clip.

Might be some videos on window track repair also.

I had the same issue with the passenger window. Finally replaced the original door panels and weather stripping this summer, the window was off of its track.

Never thought about that. Guess the answer is going to come with removal of the door panel.

Thanks!
