    I have also found that "how to" article, and I can see how making it wider might help, but I am comletely at a loss how it could possibly help to bend it forward!

    Bending it forward, gives it more room to tilt forward, which, in turn moves the upper rear corner OUT of the rear glas run! How could it possibly help?

    Keep in mind that those tracks are only designed to keep the glass parallel to the door. They are not intended to keep it from tilting. Lift & tilt are the sole responsibilities of the regulator. If those tracks are what is keeping the glass from tilting, then something is wrong with the regulator and it'll be a downhill slide to glass run tearing/splitting/bunching soon to be followed by bent tracks.

    Allison, yes, I have the same problem. But rather than bending, I might try washer/approach.
