i dont know if those windows would have this or not but a lot that have a track u will have a hole in the glass and there will b a plastic peice that snaps in that hole and keeps it in track. if so and that is the prob should b an easy fix. just get old one out if it isnt out already and get new one snap it in and then get the window snaped back straight and it should b fine. but as i said it might b diff but thats wut i would look for first.

I had this problem too. When I did some investigation, found out the quarter panel came off track because the little plastic rollers broker (on both sides of the window....there's three plastic rollers per quarter panel glass). Nobody sells this. I looked everywhere, even the dealership. the Dealerships sell the whole track system, which costs$700-$1200 per side. So I commisioned a custom plastics manufacturer to custom make me replacements. I cost me a bunch, but had a bunch made. Let me know if you have the same problem with the plastic roller breakage. I can sell you my extras at the cost I paid for them...around $40 each and can show you how to put them in. I know, it seems expensive, but apparently this material these guys used is very hard and has inherent silicone properlies to ensure proper self lubrication. They also had to make custom size ones different from the OEM wheels because since the regulator unit is sold with everything assembled, there is no way to pop the window back in there with the size wholes the come from the dealership. The holes were sized to allow you to pop the panel glass on with ease. I got $1500 worth of those plastic rollers...they would not make em for me if they I had only a few made. Just respond to this posting and I will be notified. I have a 98 Spyder Eclipse.
