Window seal/weatherstripping

My '92 LX 4-dr driver's door window does not seem to want to go up right. It looks like the upper-rear of the window is a little too far forward. But I don't know if that's the cause of my problem or not. The seal at the top keeps wanting to get caught behind the window, so it has torn about 4 inches from the back. Forward of that, it seems fine, but behind, I have to stick a credit card or drivers license, or something in to force it to the outside of the window. My next door neighbor has a 5th gen car almost identical to mine, and his is the same way.

Is this a common problem, and what's the fix?

I took the door panel off and there is a lot of play in the regulator where the arms meet the track on the bottom of the window. I may have to replace the regulator first. I'll have to wait and see. It's our 'third' vehicle, so if it's out of commission for a few days, no big deal.

Thanks!
