Quarter window problem

I'm stumped on getting the quarter windows adjusted in my cuda. I installed the windows and have the same problem on both sides: the windows go up all the way but only lower part way, the bent arm gets caught on the front edge of the track that the square slider rides in (see pic, the u-channel that's fastened to the inside panel of the quarter). I'm wondering whether I'm just way out of adjustment, or could I have the wrong regulators? I picked up these regulators with a batch of loose e-body parts, do they differ from year to year or cuda to challenger?  Thanks for any help you can offer.

Cuda and Challenger both use different regulators, post some more pictures showing the whole assembly and how you have it set up :rubeyes:

Here are the parts removed from the car. Hard to get pics of installed.

Well you have a Cuda regulator witch is a good start, but better pictures of how it's installed might help solve your issue  :)

Thanks Alan! Appreciaet the help. Here are some additional pics, showing driver's side. For the last two pics I managed to get the window mostly lowered with a little prying.

Picture #5 tells the story....Whatever the "white" thing is between the black roller and the window, needs to go, It should not be there.
The center groove of the black roller needs to run on the edge of the vertical track. While you're at it, check that the front guide attached to the window, is riding on the other edge of the vertical track.

Hard to tell exactly, but I think the white thing I'm talking about in picture #5 is supposed to be the slider circled in yellow....The other guides I mentioned are colour coded in this picture
