Default passenger side window crashes shut

The pass side window on my 84 now makes a loud crash when it closes, maybe 50% of the time, right as it reaches the top. I believe its not `climbing` straight but only at the last half inch or so, making it hard to tell.

The glass is a little loose, front anti rattle isn't holding the glass.It has its felt but may need adjusted. Any advice what to check for how to check what sequence of adjustments etc

I'm going to guess you need to update to the newer power window regulators replacing the plastic window ribbons that you have.

The drivers side is fine and the passenger side just started doing this

Keep us informed. I own a 88 and never had an issue like yours. I do know that a lot of early C4 owners switch to the newer window regulators.
