    I have been reading all the window fix forums and am a little confused because I have never had the door panel off. On my driver door I have to pull the front of the glass up when closing the window (tilts forward). So with all the suggestions for window repair can you tell m what is the first thing I should try to correct my problem?

    I opened that site but didn't see anything on window repair. Reckon I'll just open it up and see if I can figure it out.

    "what is the first thing I should try to correct my problem?"

    UUMMM - invent a time machine & go back 2 weekends so that you can attend my window fixin party.

    I have an extra bracket (don't ask) if you only need to fix one window.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    My driver's window was doing the "tilt" thang too. After taking the door panel off, we noticed that the plastic window tabs were both intact, so we left THAT part of it alone, though I had the improved brackets "in hand". We solved the problem just by pushing the window ALL the way forward adjustment-wise; it now works PERFECTLY, and moves faster than a guillotine! I'd try THAT before I did ANYTHING, assuming your attachment tabs are still intact - just my 25 cents...
