Default V70 Rear Passenger Electric Window Wobbles

Hi, I’ve recently noticed that one of my rear passenger windows on the near side doesn’t move in a uniformed manner when going up or down and is 5 to 10 degrees out of true (from horizontal), when opening or closing the electric window. When the window is half way down/up you can rock the window forward & back by hand.
I’ve taken the internal door panel off to have a look (and the grey foam covers from the door access areas) and can’t see anything obvious. I’ll look again in the morning with hopefully better light :-)
I’ve seen some YouTube clips on replacing the window regulator sliding pivot clips on front doors, but the setup on the rear doors doesn’t look anything like it?
Has anyone had a similar issue with there rear passenger electric windows send if so any advice?
Cheers
Simon

Default Still Flummoxed

Today has been the first time that I could get the car outside in the dry and with decent sunlight, though I took off the internal door panel a couple of days ago in the garage (quiet easily). Raising & Lowering the window today, whilst looking into the door cavity, hasn't indicated what is specifically at fault. The play looks to be at the rear of the window, but I can't see anything loose or in need of adjustment.
I've also taken off, cleaned and replaced the lower rubber seals on either side of the window (i.e. inside & out) to see if this helped. Feels a little tighter, but not as rock solid as the window in the off-side rear passenger door.
Unfortunately due to all the fiddling the battery is too low and now on charge; it seems I only have about 15-20 mins of battery life these days, as the battery goes flat quite quickly!
Any advice gratefully received.

Default Unflummoxed?

Hi
Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have the exact same issue with my rear window.
Cheers

Not really occurred again, so perhaps the fiddling I did has resolved. To be fair I don't drive it much and in the last couple of summers, I've not noticed any issues.
I've only changed the battery in Dec 2018, which couldn't have affected the window (though it is electric).
Sorry, that's not much help to you! Next weekend I might get it into the garage and see if the issue is still happening, now you've jogged my memory.

When I had the internal door panel off, I did push the part-open window downwards, whilst holding the bracket from the bottom, so perhaps I just pushed the window home more?
