[DML] Window off track...worst job yet to fix

[PRC1216@xxxxxxx]

One day, while raising my passenger side window, I noticed the front of the 
window wasn't meeting up with the vinyl/rubber piece that it is supposed to be 
nestled in when all the way up.   I lowered it and tried again, this time the 
window was tilting INTO the car, not even close to where it should be.   Today 
I ripped the door apart, took the window out, slid it back into its tracks 
and bolted it up to the motor.   Fixed, right?   Wrong, after lowering it and 
raising it again, the thing was still angled into the car.  It was really loose, 
i.e. I could jiggle it back and forth.   I lowered it again to try it over, 
and bang, out of the track it snapped.   I tried this   9 or 10 times, removing 
the window each time and re-inserting it, but still no luck.   It would fall 
out of its tracks every few tries.   I eventually got it up, even though half 
of the window was off track, by assisting the window with my hand when using 
the switch.   Since it is now in the proper place, I unhooked the switch and am 
not worrying about it for the rest of the summer.   Should this project 
really be this difficult?   Oh yes, I could only get one of the two bolts for the 
motor on the bottom of the window...the bracket wouldn't accept both of the 
screws attached to the middle in the bottom of the window in both holes, it was 
only one or the other.   I tried bending the little bracket to let both go 
through, but no luck.   After an hour of experimenting, I gave up on that one as 
well.

Mending the large gash on my hand from the sharp inside of the door, be 
careful if you attempt this project.
