Default Window problems.....help

I have a 99 honda civic ex that i replace the window regulator on.....the window continuously keeps falling off the track despite the fact that i have adjusted the window tracks and all bolts are tight......any suggestions....only thing i can think of is that the rubber in the tracks is loose and is not holding the window in the track anymore....

When my window was broken into I had the same issues with the replacement window. It kept sliding downwards towards the driver's side mirror. It even started rolling up on the outside of the car. I would suggest moving the window closer towards the front of the car on the track. That helped me. I also practically poured grease/lube in the tracks to help it slide. Your rubber would have to be pretty messed up. Maybe the regulator isn't quite straight? not sure.. maybe it's the regulator and not the window O.o Ever since playing with ym window it just doesn't work as good as it used to. Good luck.

The regulator gets worn and lets the window wobble from side to side so it comes out of the tracks. Replace the regulator.
