Rear windows binding in track
We replaced the front window on my son's 96 crew cab today and while we were in the window mode he asked if we could fix his rear windows. They are binding in the channels. There is play in the front to back placement of the windows in the side channels. It is as if the channels are 3/8 inch too far apart and when the electric motor tries to raise the window back up it pushes the window forward and it binds in the rubber channel and the window does not just go straight up and down as it does in the front where the channels seem to be the perfect distance apart that maintains a snug fit that keeps the window level. What is the best way to fix this problem?

My rear door glass was doing the same thing and all it took was some adjustment and it is working fine now. I tried to copy the instructions from the service manual but it won't work. Sorry.

Nothin like a little lubrication my friends. Maybe you should get into your "Tim Allen" mod and add a bigger motor that'll force the window through the binding point perhaps, lol

After you get the door panel off you'll be able to see when the slop is. I put the window half way down and adjusted the tracks. It still ***** a bit when moved by hand but goes up and down a little better. The scissor & rollers are shot and I couldn't find a replacement. I ordered one from A1 Auto and they sent me the front door scissor, no worky. Eventually the gear wore out so I welded and filed new teeth on it. IF you find a source for a replacement scissor, Let me know. The dealer sells just the assembly with the motor, big $$.
