Door window/regulator help needed.
I was really happy that I was able to get my doors back together and everything worked, until yesterday. A friend got in the passenger side and when he rolled the window down the glass came off of the lift channel. Then I rolled the driver side window down and the same thing happened.
Today I set the glass back into the lift channel, but when I roll it up, the regulator contacts something on the door latch mech. The drivers side works, but the passenger side hits so hard it won’t go up more than 1/2 way.
So I have 2 questions.
1) Should I use an adhesive on the lift,channel? I’m thinking maybe a weatherstripping adhesive, or a urethane.
2) any reason why I’d have the binding suddenly?
thx

Is it the door that you bent?
I would get a mirror and flashlight and try to look up into the door to see what's binding.
Or last resort, take the regulator out and see if anything is bent.

yeah, this is the door I adjusted. I think you’re right about taking the regulator out, it might have bent too.

Once again @abe proves that this is the best forum on the internet.
you were correct, the door handle regulator was bent interfering with the window regulator. I was able to reach in and using a mirror and a flashlight and bend it back. I glued the channels to the windows and they seem solid, the windows roll up and down without much effort.
