take off the door panel.... check and see if the screws holding the window are loose.... could be that you just need to adjust and tighten

On mu drivers side, after I roll the window down, when I am rolling it back up I have to pull up on it so it will stay one track. All the bolts i could see are tight. Anyone else have this problem?

yea, my driver side window does the same thing. and goes up on an angle so the window is like it's cracked open. I think the X thing needs to be ajusted.

could both of these problems be related?

yeah, when I roll mine up without pulling on it, it gets crooked and remains slightly open when it should be closed all the way.

Same here. I've tried loosening and tightening the bolts, but it doesn't seem to help. I'm guessing the X thingy is bent out of shape.

FWIW, I got an X dillie from Dallas Auto Salvage yard a few weeks ago for like, $35 shipped. Works great now. My problem wasn't what you guys are describing, but seemed cheap enough.

It's a pain in the *** to swap them by yourself though.

I had the same problem when I got my car.. the window would roll up all the way, but if it was half down, you could push it with your hand a move it up and down about an inch. I took the panel off and one of the bolts was missing that holds the window in.. replaced it and tightend all the others, works fine now.
