    Default quick question about window regulator?

    So my 97 civic window will go up, but then start going kind of away from the window track and fall off track or just overall not go smoothly.

    I let the mechanic at my dads shop look at it and he ordered a window regulator and said that would fix it.

    before he ordered the window regulator he jacked around with the window and the door panel off for a while putting washers and crap behind the track but just couldnt get it to work.

    This is the driver's side window by the way. Anyway, what exactly is the window regulator? I was under the impression that the window regulator was the blue box thing?

    the window is strong enough to go up it just comes off track and doesn't go up like it should (slides like a cm forward of the rear window track and doesnt always go into the top window track)

    soo can someone who has had these problems before kind of fill me in on what exactly the window regulator is and if that will fix it ?
