Windows won't roll up

The driver side window in my "31 Delux Coupe will roll down just fine, but it is tough to get it to roll up.

Before I dig into it, can someone forewarn me of the parts/mechanism that may be the culprit?
 
My drivers window (30 Tudor) does that, and it's a slightly bent regulator arm. The arm sometimes catches on a door cross brace. I really don't want to take the whole thing apart, so I've been living with it. My eventual plan is to take it out and re-bend it, or double up the arm if it's weakened somehow with a metal strip riveted on.
 
The little roller at the end of the actuating arm that runs in the track at the bottom of the window is offset to one side. If the clearance in the window tracks are not right the window can **** in the tracks and not roll up. The clearance has to be 1/16 inch or less. The solution is to glue spacers to the back of one or both tracks. Cardboard is recommended for the spacers. You have to take the window out to access the tracks.
