Dears, do you have some diagram schematic or text instruction of adjusting points for driver's side electric window?

I had an accident and maybe it is misaligned because of the crash.

Driver's door was damaged, and I went to repairman.

Now when closing to the top it goes a little bit down from the point 1, and when you pull it manually it goes to the top of point 1 (where the mirror holder ends) also to the top of point 3 (under the plastic trim of the roof), but not to the top of area 2 (about 3-4mm lower).

Thanks in advance

(The points image is from internet, the other is the door before reparation)

There are window rails that can be adjusted but you will need to remove the door panel. Loosen the window rails and move them to fine tune the window adjustment. Then reinstall the door panel and you are all set.
