Default Quick question? Drivers window not opperating

Hey all, My drivers side window did not want to roll back up today the way it had in the past. When it just about reaches the top, where it should close completely, it starts to lean forward (tilt) toward the front and wants to jam. I did notice it rolled down kinda slow today when I used it. By the way... I'm talkin about a 2000 Elantra, so... any help/advice would be useful. Thanks!
I pulled the panel off, just don't really know what I'm lookin for

Sound like bum regulator if the glass is tilting


Look and make sure the glass has not pulled out of plastic lift tab bolted to regulator..

We sell new glass... You can maybe take glass and lift pice to local glass shop and see if they will do anything..

Use some tape or something to mark correct position of plastic lift piece, then remove the glass and take the glass and plastic piece to shop. Dont scrape the goo off the glass, let glass shop do that.

Default Round 2

Bum regulator?? OK, I resealed the glass into the plastic clip(s) and it seems to be holding so far. I allowed sealant to dry for 48+hrs. I gave the window a test run today and the glass still wants to tilt forward at the last 2-3" before it closes. Yes, I have put lubricant in all the places rails/tracks. I think I have all possible places lubed? Define >bum regulator<?? Is it the plastic part that the smaller window lift tabs are bolted to? The part that runs up & down the metal rail in the center?
