Window getting loose, repair procedure?

Hi, I've got a 91 DX hatchback.

My driver side window is loose.

Specifically, it rocks back and forth, as on a fulcrum.

To create a seal when I roll the window up, I have to pull it back and push it out a little just to make it fit.

I intend to take off the door panel and do whatever surgery I need to do to fix it.

What might I expect to see here? What might the problem be, structurally? Has anyone seen this issue, and what goes into fixing it?

Thanks

Take the plastic door cover off, really easy just need a flathead and Phillips head screwdriver and there’s probably a video on YouTube that will explain how to more in depth. Your window is probably off the track a little bit, which is easy to fix (again there’s DIY videos on YouTube that should be able to help)
