Question Window Problems

Recently, after a bad storm I found the driver side front window at a diagonal. If it had fallen perfectly straight it would have broken. A local shop says its a bad regulator.

The motor works fine. I can hear it going up and down when I push the window switch. When it gets to the top it knocks into the window a bit. It seems like the window is just not attached to the scissors bracket/motor anymore. What do you guys think? Right now there is tape (ghetto) holding the window in place.

It's a 2001 RX300 SS.

Thanks for your help!

What does the window regulator do exactly? It seems like the up and down motion is working fine. The glass is just not connected.

Is this the right part?
