Hi,
Staring about a year ago I noticed my front drivers window is off track. It tilts down slightly toward the front of the car. This causes a gap in the rear vertical joint between the window and metal door frame. Also a gap on the top horizontal joint between the window and metal door frame. The gaps are approx. 1/8" wide. No moisture gets thru but the wind whistling thru is driving me nuts. I've tried simply filling the crack with the black felt weatherstripping with additional material but it only helps the problem to a degree. Also,when I put the window up it knocks and shutters as it reaches the top. Perhaps this will be of help in diagnosing a problem.

My questions are: what is wrong and is it feasible for someone at home to access the window and get it back on track. Assuming that is all that is wrong. Thanks for any ideas.
