putting the top up today, i heard a cracking sound...figured it was just sticking or something cause i havn't driven it for a few days causa my foot surgery...but when i go to put up the back window, it gets stuck 1/4 of the way up...i look and its cause its running into the top, works fine when roof is down. ...heres a picture of why

that needs to be flushed with the body along the plastic molding, and its not, the gap is there...if i pull on the roof i can pull it in to place, but im not sure what keeps it there ? it goes right back to that as soon as i let go...is there a track that it came off of, or a spring or bolt that holds it there....i need to know quick guys...i have bad thunder storms all week and don't wanna have my window down during one when im unaware of one.

Look at the bottom of quarter window. Guide is off the track. Ask some to push the switch 'UP' and you can wiggle it to put it back on track. Once it's on the track, it should go all the way up.

Look at the other side and see how it mounts in and try to copy it on the other side

Looks like a big hammer is the solution. Like RJ said bend it and make it just like the other side.
