Window Wedged

My drivers door window is wedged between the door and the track on the outside edge (door catch side). I can't roll it up or down except about a 1/2 inch and the track sits at least a 1/4 inch inside the window. I attached a couple pictures, although they're hard to see what's happening since...well...it's inside the door.

I was thinking taking the bolt out of the track that goes on that outside edge and up and over the window so I can maybe slide it down and wiggle it back onto the window? It needs new rubber all the way around at some point anyway but right now I'm just trying to get the window rolled up to keep some of the elements out.

This is from the top down where you can see the glass to the left and the track to the right.

This is inside the door at the bottom. Hard to see with the glare, but about middle of the picture is the track. It's not as far off as this looks.

This is not as complicated as it looks.
The wing window is like a pivot that will swing toward the engine. Unbolt the bottom of the wing window below the regulator/spring mechanism that rolls the window up and down. Then remove the screw on the top of the door directly below the wing window latch, and above the window crank. Unscrew the wing windows screws from the top of the door edge facing forward. Now the wing window will pivot and allow you to reposition the sliding glass.

Thanks for that pcmdub, that did the trick and the window is now up! Better yet, it’s not cracked and looks in good shape.

Great!! If you ever need to change the window felt strips, you can do the same thing and avoid removing everything.

Window roller attaches to window regulator then fits into the window channel that the glass is adhered to.

The roller breaks, the glass binds up or the whole shebang drops to the bottom of the door.
