    Crc Heavy Duty Silicone Spray! Its beside the WD40 at Walmart. Works great. I used it several months ago and haven't had an issue since.

    Well I have problems with my driver side window too. I opened it up and the clips holding the window are fine. I sprayed it and closed it up but it's still tilting forwards. I'll have to take it apart again to find the problem(not rush as of yet but soon) . Is it possible the front rail popped loose (spot weld let loose?)
    Well I just installed a rear camera an am pretty happy with that I couldn't pass it up they have the complet wireless ones at COSTCO for under $90. One funny thing I find is I can pick up other wireless cameras on the monitor as I drive around, when I leave the screen on

    This could be Entertaining.
    Make up a little sign that says something like "Engine Failure!", "Muffler bearing overheating", or something that would catch attention then put it where your camera can see it. Drive around and see who else might be watching their screen!

    Oh, I'm so devious some times...
    If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

    Your spot weld is not likely to be the cause of the tilt.

    The early window fix involves pushing and widening the front window guide to reduce friction in the front guide (the cause of the tilt).

    The problem is the upper front guide is welded solid at the top around the mirror, so there is NO REDUCED FRICTION the last 1/3 of the window going up.

    Your window needs to be adjusted toward the rear guide. PERIOD.

    Allowing your window to tilt as it goes up, WILL break the rear window tab!


    Just a warning
