Default Window issue, binding

So I hit the switch to roll the passenger side front window down yesterday and it started to get way off track.
The front was going down and the rear part was not going down correctly. It was all kinds of screwed up, luckely it went all the way back up.
I drove home and took the door panel apart and found the rear bolt for the window track was missing, found the bolt at the bottom of the door.
I reinstalled the bolt and made sure the window was back on track correctly.
But now when the window gets to the end of its roll down and also when it starts to go back up it seems to bind and make a loud click noise. It is on track and opens and closes fully but something is not right.
I am thinking maybe that thin metal might have gotten bent or there may be something wrong with the gears but I could not see anything that looked bad. It is really hard to see anything or work in there.
Anyone else have issues with the windows?
I have to try and find time to check the drivers side and loctite that bolt just in case.

The slot for that bolt might be elongated, allowing for some adjustment. I would go back into the door and see if you can slide the bracket to make it a little wider, and tighten it back down.

I wouldn't apply Loctite to it - just make sure it's tightened.

The hole was not elongated and there was no adjustment that I saw.
