Default Side window problem

OK so I've recently replaced all the weatherstripping on my 92 coupe.

Since then, something has happened to the passenger window. If the door is open, I can roll the window up and down like normal, but if the door is closed, and I roll the window down and then back up again,the front of the window touches the weatherstripping OK but the rear top of the window stays about 1/2" lower and does not seal. Also, when the window is rolled up when the door is open, the glass seems to be held in place firmly, but when it's rolled half way down, I can grab the rear of the glass and move it up and down by hand about an inch, maybe a bit less. I know this is not normal. Before I go tearing the door panel off and attempting to fix this, can anyone point me in the direction of what I should be looking for to adjust or replace? I'm hoping it's just a loose clamp or something.

I've done a lot of car work in my years but window adjustments freak me out. Thanks in advance.

Good news is, you wont have to adjust the window to fix this.

Bad news is, your window regulator needs replaced. My 92 is like this too, I havent fixed it yet.

Could just be a broken window stop and window guide, common problem with later C4's
