99 Camry window trouble

[londonandlawson]

I have a 99 and the driver's side window rolls up and seems to pop out of place towards the top and i can hear wind etc when driving, the gap isn't very big, but noticable. The rear driver side window seemed to come off the roller completely, I can move it up and down by hand, how can I fix these or should I go to a mechanic?

Hi All,
I am experiencing the exact same issue on my 99. I just replaced the door glass run (weather-strip around the window) on the driver's door, after experiencing noise coming from the window. The first weather-strip was deformed in the upper corner, allowing wind noise to come in. When I changed the strip last night, I pulled the door apart, and did remove the window before installing the weather-strip which I know is correctly sitting in the channels in the door. Essentially what happens is the window does not sit in the channel as it goes up, and pops out as it gets to the top of the window next to the B-pillar. I have noticed that if I roll up the window up to about an inch from the top, I can pull the window towards the B-pillar, which better seats it in the channel, and the window rolls up correctly. I have tried to "adjust" the window motor, and window glass, but it doesn't seem there is any play to correct this behavior. Any ideas?

I was just looking at a diagram which was something like a draft TSB on how to correct this. Basically, on the part of the window regulator where the window attaches which is closer to the rear of the car the hole should be opened up by the same amount as the diameter of the current hole - only lower by the same amount. Hard to explain ... basically the hole is too high and you can use a dremel to expand it downward then bolt on to make it angle further back while rolling up and thus fit snuggly in the window run channel. I'll look for the diagram again.

Thanks Jbrams! I'll give it try this weekend! Cheers

For the back window, it might be something wrong with the regulator
