window won't go all the way down

not sure if this is the right area or not for this...

my pass. window rolls down about 98% and then stops. just the edge by the rear door still sticks up. i had that door replaced from an accident (but not the window) about a month ago, so i'm sure that's why. i know i can take it to the shop to have them fix it, which i will do if i can't figure it out myself, but i think i'll check it out tonight to see if i can save myself the time and trouble of having to set up an appt, drop my car off, etc...

does anyone know if that is something simple, like a loose screw or something else preventing it from going all the way down? or is the whole window not set correctly...? i found this great diy to remove the door panel (http://rx8.becomeanidiot.com/puddlelights.pdf), but i don't want to go through the trouble if it would definitely be an issue i couldn't easily fix myself...

I wouldn't bother. Take it back.

If they notice that you've had the door panel off or something, they might give you s#it about fixing their mistake anyway.

^...............Could have just popped out of the track/guide. Of one of the two(usually) mounting screws to the glass may be loose or missing.
Let them fix it!

i agree, but i know the guy, he's not a jerk, i know he'd fix it, but it's harder for me to get off work to go see him then it would be to fix myself...IF it's fixable. anyway, i agree to let them fix it, i was just hoping if it was something easy i'd just pop in there, straighten it out and be done. i don't want to deal w/ going on my lunch or asking off work, blah blah
