I was under the impression there are some adjustment screws inside the door that regulate the amount of travel, angle, etc. Maybe that would solve your problem; sorry I'm not more help. Good luck and let us know what your outcome is.

I think the window regulator tracks have adjustable stops at the top of the travel, but I don't remember seeing anything to adjust the downward travel.
The window may indeed be hitting something inside the door, but I don't think it can go down too far unless something is broken.
