Start with Moncha's link to bart's fix. this is the most common first step.
While you are looking at the lift arm, remove the window tab bolts and see if the glass wants to rest on the arm. if it does, you do not need to do the spacers. if Not, follow the spacer instuctions.
Since you have the glass unbolted, push the glass rearward as far as it wants to go into the rear guide. While the glass is in this position, look at the lift arm holes and see if they still line-up with the window tab holes. IF they do, put the bolts back in and lube your tracks, knowing that they are in alignment.
Since I know that they are going to line-up, it's only by a matter of how much, If it's a little or alot, and how far do you want to go to repair.
This is exactly what I did. For each original bolt I used (1) Stainless Steel 1" (25mm) 6mm bolt with (9) 6mm stainless steel spacers (Bulldoggie's spacer fix). On the front side I used an extra (1) 6mm stainless steel washer and (1) lock wash. I did this to all 4.

OH MAN what a difference!! I didn't reslot anything at all, I just added spacers. The window goes up and down without tilting like it was. It still does it but the amount of space that "gives" or "tilts" now is about the diameter of a quarter (maybe 2 at the most). It's nearly perfect without any drilling. I then lubricated the seals with Silicon Spray heavily.

The window goes down just fine (as always) however when it goes up, although it is nearly perfect going up, it is still slow. It's nowhere near as slow as it was before but it is certainly much slower going up than going down.

My question is, would this put pressure on the motor and/or regulator to the point of replacing it sooner than "normal"?

Once the washers were in, the window arm holes and the window tab holes are almost perfect lining up now so I didn't see a need to slot anything. Should I however do it anyways? Would this fix the speed of going up?

I think I've almost got it but just need to tweek it. If however no body feels like this is wearing down the motor or regulator then I'll keep it as is.

THANKS SO MUCH everyone. I mean just doing the spacers alone is a DRAMATIC difference. I'm now just concerned about the speed going up and if it is affecting the life of the motor and regulator.

Thanks
