99 Si windows keep jumping off track
I'm prepping car for sale, and I've had a problem where the windows jump off the track ever since I bought it. Its gotten to the point where I just carry a 10mm ratchet and Phillips head screwdriver to fix it every time it happens. Anyone have any idea how to fix the problem? I don't think it's the regulator because apparently plenty of people have tried replacing that to no avail. I also read that cleaning and bending the channel back into place could potentially fix it, or spraying with silicone grease. If anyone has had any luck fixing the problem, please let me know. Any input is appreciated.

The problem you describe is generally a bad window regulator caused by a loose central rivet.

Alright thanks for the response. I'm going to see if i can fix it myself before throwing money at it. I'll get back as soon as I have it all done, and get back to you and let you know whether it works.

I lubricated with silicon spray and it works a lot better, but I think the rubber track is screwed up. It was all folded inside the metal rail and doesn't want to retain its original shape. I had to superglue some parts of it.

out a heat gun to the rubber and keep the window down so it goes back to form
