my 94 ranger has manual crank up windows.
but the windows are messed up since i bought the truck 2 years ago.
when down, and try to roll them up, they lean forward and i have to push back and crank to get them to slide up correctly.

is this a broken clip problem or a regulator problem, thanks?

or is it better for me to take off panels and look?

 

I would take off the panels and check then you'll know for sure instead of guessing. They are really easy to remove.

 

I have the same problem, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for an answer.
