Motor and glass fitted

Only thing is that when window is lower it fall forward a little.
When going back up fall back into runner.

I believe addition securing/adjustment hole needs to be drilled.

Can someone give details of were that should be done

Thanks

Tilting can be caused by misaligned side rails, wornout lining on the side rails(I'm not sure what it's called but it's fuzzy when new)or the siderails/gudes may be pinched bent or some such. There could be other causes but I would check these first especially the bottom cannel the glass rests in.

The side channels should be held by a screw at the bottom yours could be rusted out, missing, loose, etc.. be sure to check those.
As far aas I can tell window is sits fine, side rails are good both weather strips inner/outer are ok.

When the previous chromie S type electric window mech was in window went up/down fine.

I think its something to do with vertical adjustment two nuts on left side of pic 1.??

thanks
