    I just put a used window regulator on my drivers side door and when i roll up the window the front of the window wants to push toward the inside of the car and the back of the window wants to push outside the car. Hmmmm i hope that makes sense.... is there an adjustment... Its like the window rolls up cockeyed.

    thanks
    chaz.

    There are adjustments on the sides of the door. Look for bolt heads.

    It is either that or you installed something wrong. I can't imagine that the sides are out of adjustment....so check your installation.

    Is the glass in the tracks at the front and rear of the door??? if not you found your problem.The window channel run may be worne out as well(not uncommon)Is the glass securely attached to the window regulator??You mat have a bent window regulator as well.yes the adjustments for the tracks are on the door sides as craig pointed out,you may need to tweak them a bit.Good luck.

    Is the screw in the track at the front of the door?, right where the window frame meets the door, there is a screw holding the track in place.
