My 1960 Cadillac's front drivers side window keeps sliding off the tracks? Apparently there are two mounts on the bottom of the glass which the regulator/window arms mount to front and back.. the front one is broken on mine. I epoxied the glass to the metal piece and it seems to be working ok for now, still hard coming up.. any ideas y'all? thanks a bunch!

Zack, I am going off memory here, so bear with me.  If I am correct, the regulator arms have small plastic wheels at the ends which fit inside a track that bolts to the metal frame that holds the glass.  The track has a profile of a "C" like a steel stud to keep the wheel from de-railing.  Based on your description, the wheel keeps de-railing, correct?  If this is the case, the wheel is either worn down or the track no longer has the lips to retain the wheel.  Any way you can send a pic?

Yes I do believe that is what's happening.. the window will roll half way or so up and make a squeaking noise and stop.. the window also moved very easily all around the track until I epoxied it as a temporary fix.. I can try and get a pic up tomorrow! thank you for your help!
