My passenger door window tilts a little towards the front when I a trying to roll down the window. It is not a lot off but enough to make it hard to roll down. Thought the tracks may be off a little but I have the door off and was pulling/pushing each track in all directions while cranking and it did not seem to help. Are there any adjustments I am not seeing to keep the glass from tilting forward like this while rolling down? Going up is fine.
 
Can you tilt it forward even when you're not trying to roll it down? The only thing I know of that keeps the window flush against the vent window assembly are two "H" clips that are located under the felt weatherstripping and slide in the vent window assembly channel.

There is also an adjustment post at the bottom of the door that a bracket on the vent window assembly rear channel slides onto but mine is broken on my car and still rolls up and down just fine.
 
Remove the window regulator.
Remove the inside door panel.
Investigate.
Perhaps lubricate the assembly.
Easy project.
 
My regulator needed a good cleaning and lube job....it got to where it didn't even work!
 
I discovered the same support for the vent window(at the bottom of the door) is broken from the support channel on my door. But even with holding that in place while cranking made no difference. I just painted the door today so will dig back into it tomorrow and look for those H clips. I did get a chance to do a quick jb weld on that broken support today while paint was drying but don't expect that to fix the issue. Car should be ready for paint by early next week. Until then I am keeping all lubes away from the car. After that I'll hit everything in there with white lithium grease.
