Default 64 Drivers side vent window

Here is a picture of my drivers side vent window that is not aligned correctly. Also, a picture of the door with panel removed. Where do yo start to correct the problem?

Redbird,

You can gain access to to see what the t-post attachment to the regulator looks like by removing the access plate below the vent window. It might be that something is amiss with the t-post insertion into the regulator. I can't see what shape your hinge pivot is in so we don't know if something is amiss there.

The pics below (also attached as a pdf file) should get you going on taking a look at the bottom end of the vent window and its mating with the regulator.

Hope this helps a bit.

to the OP, in the first picture your hand is covering the pivot. Same picture with a view on the pivot could help.
Is it correct that the bottom of the window is aligned fine (right bottom of the glass against the stainless frame)?

I just replaced both regulators. I will look at the pivot tomorrow.
