power window pushing more towards one side
I have a 1998 DX coupe and the passenger side automatic window motor works fine but the window won't stay in the tracks. It seems like the window regulator pushes the window more towards the narrow, front part of the car. This causes the back side of the window to come off track but the front part stays in
When I first got the car it was stuck in the up position so I thought a metal part of the window regulator must've bent from the motor over-powering it, so I took it out and it didn't look super bent but I just tried making it a bit straighter. When I put it back in I still had the same problem.
Any ideas on what could be causing this problem? I'm a broke college student so I would like to fix it instead of buying a new one since the window regulator seems to work fine but I believe there's a physical problem pushing the window more towards one side.
And also I've already tried lubricating the window tracks with silicone spray.

Re: power window pushing more towards one side
If you are broke, then you need to be smart to keep your car running. Ditch your current regulator and find one at Pull-a-part. I don’t think a new aftermarket regulator is that expensive. It’s easy to replace.
