HELP!!! Window Adjustment?????

Ok, I have my door apart and have kinda figured out how to adjust my window, but it still moves a fair amount when i lift up on the front part of it, I can get about 1/4" movment.
When i jsut let the window go up the two white parts in this picture http://csce.uark.edu/~jgbertr/rb/tilt.jpg (sorry if i'm not supposed to link like this) do not meet up, there is a gap about 1/4" there, how do i make this tight while keeping the rest of the window tight as well?

Is the window sealing to the weatherstrip on the top or is there still a gap? And is the window even across the top when raised?

the window is up against the weather strip, and is even when raised, but when it goes up all the way the front kinda falls forward a little. like it goes up even, but right at the end the front stops while the rear goes to where it should, but its not hitting the stop, cause the stop would give it a great seal.

when the window is all the way up at the front it doesnt go up all the way where the mirror is, but if I pull it up and then its great, but it doesnt stay like that.
I have a digital camera, but no way to host anything. I'd liek to fix this befor i go to work tomorrow.

Did you try using the instructions on how to make the window parallel to the top? That may do it.

If the forward bolt for that is all the way down, it would seem it may need to be moved up to raise the front portion of the window.

when I move it up the whole windows roacks side to side (liek front to rear) even more, and still only comes up the same point, i dont know whats wrong, but thanks for trying to help me, i'm goign to take it to a shop while there is nothing on my door and see if they can fix it fast, I assume any bodyshop should be able to fix it pretty fast.

I dont understand mine. It doesnt seal against the weather stripping on the side. It seals on the top, but where it goes straight up it doesnt seal against it. I guess you would say the part that is towards the back of the car. I cant quite put my finger through the gap but the gap is pretty big. What ive been doing when it rains is sticking something behind the weather stripping so the window makes a seal against it, but that wont work I need ot fix it.

You might try moving the jackstuds (see instructions on my Tech Page) in on the rear of the window to help that.

Making adjustments is a bit tedious because one adjustment can affect another. It takes a little time to work them all out.
