Well, it is on the very left side, it holds one of the regulator arms in place. Tighten all the bolts though. But the bolt I am talking about can move up and down, and in my car I made sure it was all the way up before I tightened it, maybe your car is different. I was REALLY frustrated and thought I needed a new regulator and window tracks. Turned out to be a bolt, well that's fine by me lol

I won't need to get a new regulator, I already fixed the window. My regulator was bent, but I easily bent it back. There is a bolt on the left side holding the bottom left of the regulator in that became loose, and caused a misallignment

I had exactly same problem, with my 97 compact. The problem was in those rails in which window slides. they weren't straight. I straighted the rails, and everything was grand. Tricky part is to get the window back in to thouse rails ;)

@susundrupulis yeah i just fixed it yesterday lol, the rails were bent because a bolt was loose. straightened the rails, and lubed everything, then made sure everything was in there nice and tight, and now the window is perfect.

@kukimaoriwaka actually in my case it didnt bend, one of the bolts came loose. i think it could have bended if it hadnt fixed the problem, but i caught it soon enough that it caused no further damage

G Day all , I had the same problem ,drove me nuts trying to fix it { how to get the window back in the slide } .Once I worked it out it took me less than 2 minutes to do , 1st have window half way up get a long steel ruler 3ft , slide it {top down} into rail keep pushing firmly until glass tucks inside the rubber in the rail " use mirror to check " . loosen bolt on stableiser rail , push rail down 3/8 inch and retighten , its that easy ! Hope this helps it actually was as simple as that.
