Getting window back into front weatherstripping track...
got the panels out easy...then I noticed that the fron part of the window is out of the weather stripping track, not the window track. It looks like a tough one. Any body ever fix this or something like it? Maybe its time to goto a body shop?

Hmm is your window only going half way up? Cause mine did the same thing and I fixed it just yesterday. Mine was out both of the Window Track and the Weather Stripping track and I had to remove the screw from the Window track, shake the window a bit and move the track far to the left (on the passanger side window) and pull the window as hard as I could till it went in. THEN the other side came off so I had to wiggle that into place by moving the window up a little bit then moving it then rolling it down and up. Hopefully that wasnt confusing and u can try that!

yes thats it. Its in the actual track though, but totally in the wrong way towards the front of the car and it looks tough to get in. Didi you loosen the window first to get it in?

Theres a bolt on the lower left hand corner of the door, it holds the track. unbolt it have the window down and then force it away from the window toards the front and try to get the glass to catch the channel. Then with the window still down and in place put some tension from the track towards the window so its tight and cant pop back off then tightn the bolt back down and you should be set. Since you have the door panel off put some wd40 in the channels then roll up the window and put in in the back side channels in the door. Roll up and down a few times to make sure its going smooth, wipe the extra spray off and you should be good and then I would roll drivers side down and spray it also and spray it down in the door so you dont have to take the panel off.
