The window adjustment is a different story. First off, your window doesn't look loose. It looks pretty normal. What else brings you to the conclusion that something is wrong?

Getting the window adjusted properly is a HUGE deal. I've had mine apart 3 times to tinker and get it just right. Last year I got a little ahead of myself and promised a DIY. Then I figured out how tricky the adjustment actually is. I'm still not confident I can explain it effectively.

Well what tells me that it's loose is that it wiggles from left to right and the passenger side does not

Anyways I decided not to mess around with it and booked a appointment with toyota on Tuesday

The only thing I'm worried about is that they will just rip away the plastic and not put it back ...

Hopefully that plastic won't be to big of a deal even if it's not there

Yeah. My passenger side is still a little too tight. I took apart my driver side because it was jamming itself crooked from the factory and eventually started opening with a loud pop.

The passenger side brushes still squeak a little when damp. It also moves a touch more slowly than my driver side. The regulator itself and the top hard stops are aligned nicely so I haven't been in a big hurry to mess with it.

The dealer had better replace your vapor barrier with a brand new one. It's considered a consumable for door service. They know it's important.

I'll double check after they finish the fix
But I don't think it should cause any damages even though the vapor barrier is removed

Ok so I went to Toyota to try and fix my window .. they changed my window regulator cause that's the only thing the tech said could cause a loose window but when he put the new one ..the window is still loose !

He said him and other techs took a look at my car but couldn't find what could be causing the window to be loose and said it just might be normal

Can anybody here please help me


Thanks

That means it's probably normal. If it works fine don't worry about it.
