Chrysler Repair: 99 Concorde window lift mechanism problem, haynes manual, chrysler dealer

Question
Roland ...I rigged a clip onto the track to prevent it from slipping off. Cost me less than a buck. Better than the $300 estimate I got from a repair shop that said I'd have to replace the motor assembly! They'd of found the real problem and charged me to fix that too. My window on the passenger side doesn't operate any more. Is it difficult to install once the door is apart?
Thanx ... Brad

Question -
When my driver side window is down and I begin to put it up it appears to go off track. Looking at the window from the drivers seat it looks like the left side of the window is being pushed up higher than the right side. If I catch it early I yank the window to the left and back into the track. If I move the window up slowly, a little at a time, it stays on track. I popped the inside of the door off and I noticed that the window is pushed up by a bar. The window rests on the bar and is held on the bar with two black clips(U shaped). When the problem occurs the right window clip(and window) slips down in front of the bar as the window moves up causing the window to get cocked down and to the right. It's as if the clip is no longet attached to the bar... the clip is U shaped but the right side of the U might have snapped off from a flange bolted to the bar supporting the window. Does that seems to make sense? Is it a common problem? Can I buy a replacement clip?
Thanks for any help!

Hi Brad,
You are the "expert" on this one, already. I haven't had reason to get into an LH-body door's window lift mechanism. But as to the part replacement question, I would go to a parts counter at a Chrysler dealer and have a look at their computer image and parts list for that mechanism. The best I have is the '94 factory manual that tells how to remove the mechanism, and a similar page from the '94-7 Haynes manual. If you need to replace the mechanism you may find that a pull-it-yourself type wrecking yard will be a good way to get one inexpensively.
Let me know if you need the pages and I can xerox and postal mail them to you. Just give me a mailing address.

Answer
Hi Brad,
Way to go!
No, once you have the regulator out the motor exchange is pretty straightforward. Disconnect the wiring from the motor. Put the regulator in a vice and clamp regulator to gear sector so it won't rotate. Remove 3 screws that hold motor to regulator. Then reverse the procedure. A slight rocking or rotating may be necessary to bring the holes for the screws into alignment. Torque all screw to 50-70 inch pounds. But you might want to jump 12V to the motor before you conclude the motor is bad. Try running it up and down by reversing the polarity.
I sent the pages to you over the weekend
