    Passenger window glass tracking

    I have a 1967 Porsche coupe w/brass door window frames.
    I had the frames re chromed and installed new window guide felt on each side and installed a new window regulator on the passenger side

    The drivers side window tracks up and down perfectly.

    The passenger window goes down about 3”-4” and “cocks” at an angle as if there is a gap in the felt channel. If I use my hand on the top edge of the window ,to straighten the glass, the window will go down to the bottom position with very little xtra coaxing.

    Has anyone experienced this issue? If so, what is the fix?

    After hours of adjusting the glass channels and the four bolts holding the the regulator, the glass is finally tracking properly

    Just saw this, and when I encountered the same situation this week, loosening the bottom-most bolt of the door frame at the rear, retracting the glass all the way down and re-tightening the bolt solved it for me.

    There is an angle adjustment in the center of the bottom glass channel. Not visible because the nut is facing the door.
