Unhappy busted window

I have had my Z about 6 months. Some kids broke out the window last sunday night to try and steal it. I got the new window and put it in but I can't seem to get it right. When the doors open it rolls up pretty easy but when I close the door it messes the rubber up on the front of the door by the mirror. Anybody got any suggestions.

Thanks
Kat

You install yourself?

Its an easy, quick fix for any shop to straighten it and shouldnt cost much. All that is needed to take interior door panel off and make some adjustments, then throw panel back on.

Yes..I installed it myself...I was trying to save a litte $$$ and everything is back like the other one but I don't know if they bent the track when they busted it out and I can't see it or what...I will probably try and take it to a shop...
Where's the best place to buy replacement parts...they broke the passenger side mirror off also...

I've never seen a window replaced in a car, especially a frameless one, where it's fit like the OEM one originally did. Even letting a shop do it, they still never get them adjusted perfect.

Did you buy an OEM window or an aftermarket one?
