Drivers side window problem
My drivers side window started acting up today. It's always gone up a little too far, but that never bothered me because I could just touch the down button and it got to the correct position. Today, I was driving and noticed that a lot of wind noise was coming in and low speeds, so I stopped to check it out. What looks to be happening is the front of the window gets caught, causing the rear to go up and the window uneven in the up positon. I looked around inside with a flashlight, but couldn't see much. I tried to take the door panel off, but didn't know how and didn't have access to a computer at that time. Has anything similar happened to anybody else?

Pop out the round things at the bottom of the door.
Very carefully remove the lense bar that is the night light ,their is a bolt./screw, you will have to remove.On the unlock arm put it in the open posession and pry the end with a small screw driver.
Becareful not to crack the square black bezzel that houses the light and lock,unless yoiu have 30.00 and can find a place to recoat it.
The bolts for adjusting the door are 10 mm.You have the slides at both ends and check the window guide at the very front of the window if it is cracked replace it or the window will not adjust properly.you have an in and out adjustment in the center ,also you have felt guides they also need to be adjusted .Take your time and dont losen all the bolts at the same time.When removing door panel and installing window must be in the down posession.
Be careful when you unlock the connectors for the wiring ,if you break them you have to buy the whole switch.
