Default window problems

the driver side front window in my car tips forward as it'* going up, if i don't physically pull the window back and hold it back while i'm putting it up i end up with a gap at the top rear corner of the window, diving me absolutly crazy, it'* been like it since th ecar was about 1 year old, i'm geussing theres a track worn or something, if anyone has had this issue with a 2k ssei and successfully repaired it, some advice would be greatly appreciated.

the window has a hole in it...a little plastic thing goes in the hole at the edge of the window..yours is missing I think. That is my random guess.

This is a diagram of the front window regulator

The "blown up" section shows one of the clamps that has a rubber insert inside that holds the window in place. There should be two of them, one to the left of the slide, and one to the right (the one highlighted). I'd guess that one or both of the bolts that tighten that clamp down has worked its way loose.

You'll have to pull the door panel, and the water deflector off the door. Once that is done, and the window is rolled up all the way, through two access holes, you'll be able to see the bolts for those clamps. Tighten those down snuggly, but don't over-do. That should solve your problem.
