I live on a military installation, so everytime I leave the base I have to open the window to show ID to get back on base (home). When I roll the driver's side window up, the glass moves forward about half an inch and the front of the glass falls down about half an inch below the rear. Now I have to stop, open the door and mess with it til I get it closed. Help!

You will have to remove the interior door panel and inspect the regulator, and the guides in the window.

Take the window handle off (held in place from behind with a "U" shaped clip), remove screw from interior door handle, and manual remote mirror.
Panel "pops" out (held in place with plastic holders).
Push panel up to clear door lock knob and out.

You can get replacement parts (generally) from Toyota, or go to junk yard and look for 90-92 Geo Prizm or Toyota Corolla.
