Default droopy window - fix needed

The DS window on my 94 is working but seems to fall back a bit towards the rear of the car when rolled up all the way. Is this an easy fix?
if I try and close the door with the window all the way up it will hit the pillar...so right now I leave it open a bit in the garage until I can figure this out.

Sounds like the back window bolt mount needs to be replaced. Stop using the window to get out of the car.

Probably your front window guide. They get brittle and break. It allows the front of the window to tilt back and then the rear top corner hits the weatherstrip retainer or maybe even the B pillar. I replaced mine a few years ago and they book again. There are write ups about changing these out. Not difficult, just time consuming the first time! Haha.
Here's a pic of the piece I'm talking about.
