Default Window jumps off track

On my driver's side, when the window is all the way down it jumps off the track. The 'arm' from the window motor seems to have some tension or is bent inwards slightly, normal ? can't compare to other side, never had window problem.

Thanks for any suggestions

What might have happened is the tube that runs vertical down the center of the window in the door and has the white plastic attachment to the window has come loose. That tube may not be positioned correctly in that it moves off it's designated spot at the bottom of the door and allows the white plastic piece to drop off the bottom.

To fix, you would need to dismount the white plastic piece from the window. Hold the window in the up position, correct the the bottom positioning of the tube and reinstall the white plastic piece.

It's not hard, but it's difficult to describe. Good Luck

Mine was bent, took a little straightening to get it to work right. Worn guides were the cause:

Martin on your picture you will see the allen bolts that hold the stops to limit travel of the arm.

It appears from your picture that the rubber liners are missing.
if you loosen the allen bolt you will see there is a small protrusion inside the clip,
if you cut a piece of rubber to fit the clip it will be held in place.
I like to use a piece of tire sidewall or mudflap.
You dont need much ,
the old rubber usually crumbles probably from lubricants getting in it.

Thanks Stan, the pic was from last summer and I pretty much completely renewed everything in the window lift mechanism, guides, roller, those rubber liners etc., and now it works like a peach. The arm took a little while to get just right but everything else was pretty straightforward.
