Default Passenger Window Adjustment Help

X-type '04 - Passenger window has a gap at the top rear corner. I removed the door panel and found that the window is adjustable with two clips (front and rear) but after I adjusted completely down on the front and completely up on the rear (just barely holding) the window is now level but still not quite closing completely.

Could the rear clip have dropped? Is there an adjustment to the clip that I can do? I know there are cables running behind the tracks but I am not sure how to get to them or even if I should. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It seems like something in there is bent. To me, if a power window is acting up, I just replace the whole actuator because if one part of the window goes, normally the others are right behind it

Just a follow up... the back retainer clip loosened and the window shifted in it. I was manually trying to adjust the window without RTFM (reading the freakin' manual). After looking up the procedures in the JTIS, the answer was found in the window reinstallation steps. Both clips need to be loosened and, using the controls, return the window to its completely closed position, then retighten. Seems simply enough but I must have not had both the clips loose enough originally to properly reset the window.

Hope this helps someone in the future...
