What year and all is your car? We need that to help you.

Year, trim, sedan or coupe, that kind of stuff.

Have you taken the door panel off? Is everything where it should be? Take off the passengers side panel and use it as a reference. Let us know.

If you can take a pic of the messed up one and post it here so we can see what is going on.

it sounds like it's just off track, i would take it to an auto store and an epoxy (sp?), and glue it back on. if that doesn't work you will need to take it to a glass shop and have them fix it. you could also take it to the body shop.
