I dont know if this will help or not, but on a 86 Buick I had we just jurker the window out of alignment and snaped a new plastic glide in place, then pushed it back into its track, its be fine sence. Good luck
how replace vertical window guide channel
The window is not off track. The window regulator is broken. In most cases you will have to replace the window motor and regulator as an assembly.
Ok I got the window replace but how do you adjust it so that it runs up and down on the track properly? The front side of the window keeps falling off the track because the window rolls down crooked. Thanks
It's not on a track, the 1999 Regal windows have cables, therefore, you will have to replace the window motor.
remove door panel and roll up window at the center of the door are two screws that dold the window to the motor remove them and carefully lower the window motor put window on track roll up motor and replace screws also check surrounding track screws and adjusment then replace door panel

Remove the inside door window panel. Make sure the window is on the window track. Make sure the window linkage is not needing repair. Replace the window motor.
Remove the inside door panel. Remove the window clips that hold the window onto the track. The window will come out. Reverse the process to install the new window.
Unfortunatley they no longer come off track. You window regulator has probably broken. you'll have to remove the door panel and replace the regulator assembly.
Possible causes. 1.Bad Fuse 2.Bad Motor 3.Bad Switch 4.Window has slid out of its track If the window rolls up to a certain point but stops then it may have slid out of track and is hitting a rubber or plastic guide. In the event of the window sliding out of its track. This can be confirmed by looking down the seal of the door with a flash light. Try to roll the window up and see if its hitting anything. It may be something else but it seems these are the most likely.
I've had this happen several times myself. First you will have to remove your inner door panel, the locking mechanism can be a bit tricky just make sure you don't bend the linkage. Replace your guide clips on both sides of the window, these are inexpensive and can be found a virtually any auto parts store. Make sure your track are true and not bent. Make sure you lubricate the guide and tracks for smooth operation of the window. While doing this, most importantly, dont drop your window down inside the door or you will be replacing it too.
My 93 Mercury's windows are off track. They stay on track until I manually push them up and they go off track. I have been told that you have to drill out the rivets that keep the window on track, adjust them, then replace the rivets with a bolt and nut.Could this be right?John
