Default drivers window off the rails

The picture says it all!
Is there a chance that it can be fixed without parts or should I go ahead and place an order before pulling my door apart?
Which part(s)?
cheers

Yes it can be fixed at no cost, other than labor. The window went down too far and came out of the track. There are adjustable stops for the top and bottom travel with nylon cushioning material. Overtime they become compressed or break and the window travels too far.
Take the door panel off, put the glass back where it should be and adjust the botton stop so it stops before it disengages, otherwise it will happen again.

not too hard to fix. It can be a pain getting all the rail to go on. You will get one on and the other will come off. It is just a bit time consuming

Good info samluke I never new that the stoppers were adjustable, I'll have to make sure to lock that away in the back of my head tell the day it happens to me. hally your car so clean, nice interior major props.

I have to say isn't everything on our cars worth taking apart? (If not just for fun) It seems to me that 93% of the time you can fix the original part by a simple "disassembly and clean" one thing I love about my car.
