Snapping window

Drivers side window snaps horribly from the upper left hand corner when opening. 02 3.0. What am I getting into?
Any advice appreciated
Mike

Two questions.
Is the drivers side “left”?
Isn’t there a link somewhere for regulator install?
Thanks

The window clips 51338254781 get brittle and start breaking. This causes the windows to get crooked and bind as they go up and down. This also starts putting extra tension and wear on the window regulator sliders which then break.
Pretty simple to replace. I'd also buy replacement sliders since your already there.
