Angry Passenger Window off track

My passenger window only rolls up 3/4s of the way and the rear part of the glass is tilted down still. Is my passenger window off track?

Best thing to do is take off the doors interior and you should be able to see what is wrong. The window has a horizontal guide on the bottom for the lifting arm used for lifting and lowering. On the window are two guides with large holes. in the door is a vertical bar. the two guides on the window run up and down the bar. The bar or window guides are probably loose.

I haven't gotten the chance to tear into the door panel yet to see what's going on with the window track assembly. I can describe now what exactly is happening though a little better.

Like stated above, it's stuck 3/4 when rolling it up, with the rear part of the window tilted down. I can roll the window up though by pulling upward on the rear part of the glass, tapping the switch and pulling up on it one more time to roll it up. I see a guide tube in PET that's part of the window assembly. Could this be the culprit?

The windows do NOT have tracks just the guide tube and two yokes bolted to the glass which run on the tube. The roller as in WRK is riveted to the regulator arm but does NOT guide the window it just lifts.

Jim, that makes perfect sense now! I'll be stopping by at my parents tomorrow to have a look at the passenger side window. I'll see if I can get it fixed. Thanks for your help.

Andy, check to make sure there isn't a cable or some wire snagging the rollers on the way up the tube. I've had this happen in the past, same symptoms.

It happened pretty suddenly I remember... I wouldn't be surprised if a wire did get caught in there.
