In those channels is a felt seal that hardens and disintegrates with age 
(so may be nonexistent).  Replacing those on both sides of the window as 
well as adjusting the channels (loosening the bolts and getting them 
lined up correctly) should take care of the situation most likely.

Moss Motors part 458-610, less than $12 USD for a pair.

Hi Dave,
   I can not ascertain the cause of the problem from the pictures.  My exper=
ience has been that the glass must be snug enough in the guides so that it d=
oes not =E2=80=98rock=E2=80=99 as it moves vertically.=20
  The front guide is part of the vent window assembly. This is set first, se=
t so that the vent window closes uniformly against the windscreen.  Once tha=
t is set, the rear guide is adjusted to snug the glass just enough for smoot=
h movement.
   Once these are set so that the glass moves smoothly, you can reduce the f=
riction a bit by a few short shots of silicone in the fuzz of the guides.
   And, while the door is open, put a drop of oil on each of the many pivots=
 in the parallelogram linkage, and the winder shaft, and a bit of white grea=
se on the winder gears.

That's all good advice, especially the bit about aligning the vent window
first!

I have found that the 'fuzzy stuff' lining the tracks wears off after
decades of use, leaving behind just the rubber substrate. And rubber, doing
what it does best, created a lot of friction (traction?) on the glass edge.
New guide inserts are the only dependable longterm solution - and
fortunately they're cheap.

Installing and aligning the glass and lift mechanism can be a terrible
headache BUT if one follows the process described in the workshop manual,
the job becomes much easier. Been there, screwed that up. :-o

Rick, '72 B, etc.

I second all of this with one exception.  I'm not aware of any alignment =
available for the quarter-light as the four bolts and screws pull it =
down onto the top of he door and forwards into the corner.  The only =
adjustment after that is at the bottom of the long leg to control how =
the Q/L tilts sideways to line up with the screen upright, which has =
little or no effect on the operation of the drop-glass.

The rear channel *is* adjustable, if it's not in close enough to the =
glass that could be allowing it to tilt and/or come out of the front =

Thought I would update and maybe provide a little humor here.

The windows were not properly in the channel when rolled down.

Took the door panel off, lifted up the plastic moisture seal and was
prepared to follow the many hints I had been given.

Finally figured out - that angle piece at the bottom that holds the channel
and the window snug - when they restored the car both sides were put in
backwards, allowing slop and creating the problem!

Part #10 in this diagram:  https://mossmotors.com/door-window-fittings

Took us longer to get to it and put everything back than to actually fix it!

Nice story, Dave and not uncommon. Attached is a picture of my E-Type. The
PO installed the front bumper over-riders reversed. They should be
vertical, and will be once they are reversed.
