Window regulator?

I haven't been using my rear windows much, but I noticed two issues I think are related to the regulator.

First is when the window goes up or down, it doesn't stay level. It's like if the regulator/motor has two attachment points to the window, only one is still connected, pushing and pulling that side first.

Second is when the windows get to the top, they clunk pretty loudly, like the window is hitting the frame. I can only assume its because the window isn't level and one side is hitting the top.

I think the windows is sitting/held on a scissor type mechanism... not sure if that's the culprit tho.

It sits in a bracket with two bolts at the bottom. Take off interior panel and lower glass til you can see the bolts. Loosen them and push glass to front channel tight and tighten the bolts. Should be good then.

I think one of the bolts on each door actually came off... the day before i noticed, I had heard some rattling around... but just passed it off as probably some bits in my cargo area.

hum, for the moment, I don't have a "trim panel" tool. and in the past, when I took off the door panels in other vehicles, I've either bent the clip, or tore the panel material (thin particle board).

I think so too, but seems like what's holding the window to the "scissors" are two bolts.

I just pulled all my panels off when recovering. No problem.

Yeah it has two bolts but doesn't seem to be of the scissor style.
