Default 1976 Issue with door / window

I have an issue with the window on my door. When ever I shut the door with the wine up, it clips the paint before the door is closed all the way (pictures below). Also, when the door is shut I can't roll the window all the way up. Please let me know If any of you know a way to fix this. Thanks!

you have to remove the interior door panel and adjust the glass. There is a chance the glass is starting to come off the track. There are detailed instructions in the factory Chassis Service manual.

More than that ONE photo is needed to give any worthy advice in repairing this.

I can at least tell you that your glass is NOT adjusted correctly ...and this is I can clearly see the rear vertical line of the door glass is not going up and down straight...it is at an angle...BUT MORE may be needed to stop this issue.

And this is assuming that this car has not been in an accident and if it has... repaired incorrectly....which can happen...which can effect how the door glass can be adjusted.
