Window glass falls out of track: Rubber side channel broken

besides the fact that my passenger side window keeps coming off the track i took off the panel and i see that the rubber grommet is ripped which is causing the window to fall off the track .. is there a way you can replace this rubber part so the window can stay intact?

... mine did the same, but it was on the driver side, this weekend i plan on taking it apart and seeing what went wrong. i was driving to school, and went to roll it down and went off track didnt fall down in the panel, it just starts this loud ass clicking when it gets to the top of the window

I got the same problem -______- s**t suckssssssssss :(
And Idk how to fix it, what happens in mine tho is that it goes down fine but when it comes up the window somehow gets caught and all crooked and I have to like pull the front of the glass towards the back and then it finishes going up =/

Mine does it all the time. Take off the door panel, theres a gold bolt on the bottom left, loosen it and put the window back into it. Retighten the bolt, and your ready to go.. I do this about every 3 months.

If it's clicking, some of the teeth on the regulator may be damaged. Take off the panel, and look inside the hole while you raise it up and down. You will see when and where it starts clicking. Easy to change as well.

just unplug the power connector,
take off two bolts on bottom of window,
slide it out.
take off bolts on door,
slide the regulator out through the bottom opening, the motor is attached to it.
Change the regulator and put the old motor on, or just change them both while your at it.
reverse the installation,
Reinstall the window, and test before putting the panel back on.

yeah it happened to my driver side too but i fixed it and its working perfectly fine now it happened to the passenger side .. so you can just buy the seal at autozone or advanced auto parts

sometimes the rubber piece is the problem. but usually its lack of proper lubrication, i recommend getting a new rubber piece (weather stripping/molding) whatever you want to call it and after installation take some silicon spray and spray all down the rubber. after wards roll the window up and down and let it work its way in, it works everytime.
