Default ghetto window

Ok I have ignored this since I got my car but it's time to fix this now! My driver side window doesn't roll up all the way or straight up. Is there a way to adjust it? Or do I have to replace the whole track?

i have the same problem on my driver side window. the only way to roll it up all the way is to push it. i found the problem though, the track where the motor is cranking the window has teeth like gooves on it and three of them are worn down. so the grooves aren't caught and the window gets stuck. the ionly way to fix it i think would to buy a whole new window motor but im not sure.

More then likely it is your window regulator and aren't to bad to replace.

my passenger side doesnt roll up very quickly. my drivers side window used to do it as well but i took the panel off and cleaned the track and oiled it and then I had wipe off the window from where i accidentally sprayed it with WD-40.
