1953 window regulator

Hey All, just replaced my driver side window regulator on my 53, with a dennis carpenter repop. Very nice reproduction I might add, just one little issue now my window wants to go up crooked, the front, just for fun lets call it that, towards the hood goes up straight, the rear towards the bed is lagging behind. Is it just an adjustment of the window track to correct this? Or has my window seat seen better days? Thanks in advance!

Check the rollers on the window tracks, there are some rollers with plastic on them which could be worn or may not be in the track. When you install them there's a pin that keep them from comming off check to see if it's there and doing it job. Also check to see if the regulators aren't bent or have a defect.
