Weird drivers window
I have a constant problem with the drivers window . When ever im doing more than about 50mph and i put the drivers window down then put it back up ..it goes up ..touches the frame and comes back down . If i open the passenger window slightly first 99% of the time it goes up ok .
It does look slightly out of alignment ..as in when i watch the window on the passenger side ..seems to go straight for the groove in the door frame ..were as the drivers seems to be pointing a little too far out ..causing it to touch the frame rather than the groove.
Has any body had this ? can the window be re-aligned on its runners ?
Is it a Raised air intake issue ? ..works fine at low speeds ..just above 50mph

Mine does it, if its windy and going 60+, goes up to the top then comes back down.
es you off if its raining.
The only way to cure it is by slowing down, then it works.
It must be something to do with the air pressure inside the car, bellowing the glass out of line, perhaps.
