'76 door window problem

Hello. Have drivers door window that rolls up and down OK..(after many adjustments)..But when door is closed and I roll window up it does not roll up all the way..It tends to want to "lean" in thus not allowing it to roll up all the way with door closed..I can either open door to get it to roll up all the way or "push out " on window while rollling up with door closed to get it to go all way up....WHAT GIVES???

On my 68 there are adjustments to tilt the glass channels in or out to lean the glass into or away from the body. I don't know if this would apply to your car being a later model but it's worth checking it out.

I had to play with mine when I replaced the weather stripping. Best thing I read about the adjustment is to loosen the top window stops in the tracks, close the door and roll the window up. Then tighten all the adjustments and stops.

This got me close. A few minor adjustments and I finally got the window in the right place. PITA but doable.

if you have a haynes or factory manual it explains adjustment procedure. also there is a procedure on a web page somewhere if u need it. probably somewhere in this forum
