Passenger window off track
Yesterday while on the way home from work, I wanted some fresh air and hit the down button for the passenger window.
It went down but something didn't sound right. I looked over while driving and noticed it didn't go down all the way, there was a little bit of the window still sticking up out of the door.
I hit the up button and it went back up but very slowly, and when it was up I noticed there was a gap between the left side of the window (where the passenger door hinge is located - towards the front of the car) and the passenger front pillar.
It looks like it came off its track.
I got it home, opened the passenger door all the way and played with it and was able to get it back up all the way and aligned up right so it's secure, however, something is definitely not right!
Is this something I can fix myself? Or should I not mess with it and take it to the dealer? I don't want to accidentally make things worse...

Just remove the door panel, and behind two pieces of that insulation tape at the top you will find adjustment bolts that you can manipulate. Should hopefully fix your problem. If not, there is more access to the remaining bolts through the plugs to adjust what you need to on the window regulator.
