What channel?, In the door? Should be inline with the felts and ride up in the felt.

Don't understand that you can't see if it's in the channel.

its in the channel but when it all the way up its not in the curve part all the way ,, you can move it and it will go into ,, so there is slack in the glass , i did have the regulator out ,, i tried to loosen the screws to get it , with no luck

thanks

goes up and down fine ,, but when it gets to the top you can tell its not all the way into the curved part of the channel ,, now you grab the glass and pull it into the channel , but when you go back down and then up its right back were it was just barley into the curved part of the channel
thanks

Hard to tell from here, but, away from the corners is it up tight all the way to the top?

If so, it could be the bracket on the bottom of the glass that the small wheel from the regulator rides in, maybe not straight or on the way it was, this is assuming it was removed to tint the glass.

I would check the bracket that the glass is in, see when you are rolling up the window if it's crooked at all, the glass might be cocked more to one side, that bracket can be adjusted how the glass sits in it by putting in a filler of some sort on the side that needs to be raised.
