power window

My passenger side power window keeps coming away from the track and binding so it won't go up or down properly. I removed the door card and it seems to be only at the bottom back part where the glass pops out of the bracket. Does anyone know how its meant to be held in? Can it be glued back in place?

changing from 2nd then moves over to 5th gear plane instead of 3rd/4th plane. Not consistantly though, about 50% of the time. The $tealers charge like they are specialist surgeons. Can't see myself paying that sort of money just for a diagnosis.
