long story short got my car back from body shop but now my window doesn’t fully go up properly and doesn’t sit flush with the oem hardtop. the back of the glass slightly sags .The window still goes fully down just not fully up the rear seems to be stuck somewhere if I hold the button up and pull on the glass it comes up but then goes back down a bit .

You can see the gap where it’s missing to go up it gets stuck in the front of it I am assuming .is there anyway to fix this ?i don’t think it’s the motor because it still goes up and down

The window looks up on this photo lol but idk hahaha i am still hoping for loose screws .
a buddy of mine was saying is it possible that the regulator has gone bad.

The window is screwed to the electric mechanism. This is done with screws with big plastic washers / Distance pieces. Maybe one is broken or just a screw is loose.

Yo fellas just wanted to update
and thank you guys for your time and help
I finally had time to do the work and thanks to you guys help
I found the window was loose from the 2 of the 3 screws holding the glass .causing it to have play and sag when I tighten them it was outta place still so I had to loosen up the 3 window stoppers like the manual photos cosmomiller added here and re loosen the glass crews all 3 of them .to be able to pull back and adjust window .I had my sons mother hold the glass in place while I went to tighten the glass screws again then tightened up the glass stopper that pushes up against the glass first then the other two after that I can now finally wash my car and do a full detail
thank you again fellas

Glad it worked out. Sometimes having the right tools works! (Son's mother, LOL!)
