Coupe window adjust question

Got around to adjusting my driver side front window.

Got it to a good place but the preload is baffling.

The passenger side window which is good shows gap when the door is clicked to the first stop, not fully closed.

The driver side when closed to first click engages the rubber seal on the rear window.

I've adjusted preload but can't get the driver window as straight vertically as the passenger side.

This is with both doors closed to 1st click. Not fully closed.

And looking at angle of engagement with the vertical runner seal on the rear window.

Any ideas?

Worn guides?

Tell me more.

I've got the rear preload screw bottomed out and the window still angles enough to catch the vertical seal when closed to first click.

Do these guides wear?

The guides are what rides on the rails, correct?

Worth replacing?

It just makes closing the door more difficult.

The other side is super easy.

But the driver door needs a good slam.
