Default Solution to window adjaustment problem on a 1980

I posted several threads regarding the problem I was having adjusting
the door glass trying to move the glass further out.
Gave up and had a glass company adjust it. Turned out the rear
track was bent near the top. Technician straightened it out. He
was surprised at how thin the metal was for an older car.
He noticed it was bent by comparing it to the other side.

Hope this helps someone else having window adjustment problems.
