Default 98 Chevy Venture Window Guides?

I have a 98 Venture. When the drivers side window goes up, it tilts, so much that I need to correct it and help it up. I replaced the motor and regulator a while back. Is there something that should be in the window track as a guide or something? Thanks

From my personal experience, the outside tracks get gummed up. This puts stress on the scissor assy, which will deform or develop exessive play, causing the glass to shift and bind. Either repair or (preferably) replace the scissor assy and clean out the tracks. I actually spray Armour All down them occasionally. This prevents the track from grabbing the window.
