It sounds like either it is off track or the regulator is damaged. If you loosened any of the nuts on the door when you had the panel off, you may have taken the equalizer out of adjustment.
I'm going to provide the directions for replacing the glass. It includes the regulator, adjustment, and so on. Take a look through it. Pay most attention to the equalizer bracket nuts and make sure the regulator motor is tight.
You are not replacing the window, but these are the only directions I have that provide what I feel is needed. The attached pics correlate with the directions.
