Default Window Regulator problems/Questions


Bought a used scissors type. Having trouble getting glass lined up.
Several questions:

This should be '85 driver side.
Is it possible to make mistake/wrong part and put pass side in driver side?
Driver side- motor faces interior of car?
Two holes drilled in bottom as per dimensions.
When I try to close the door the front edge hits the weather strip and the rear edge is about 3" out (I know about the curved adjustment, but I'm afraid I'll break the glass trying to adjust that much)
IDEAS?????
