Your driver's side window moves out of its track as it raises and doesn't stop until the glass touches the metal door frame. You may hear abnormal noises when operating the power window, and the problem has gotten worse over time. This issue appears to be caused by loose window bolts, which is the same problem that triggered recalls for 2003-2004 Corollas with the same power window system. The repair will likely involve tightening or replacing the window mounting bolts and checking the window track alignment.
