SL2 2002 back passenger window popping out

I'm not a car expert and will try to explain my problem accurately. I
noticed 6 months ago that my back passenger window was popping out of the
molding. What I mean is that the molding piece between the power window
and the little window on the left back door is popping out of place at the
top. When I went to Saturn for an oil change, I asked them to look at the
problem and fix it. So they mentioned to me that they think that someone
was trying to break into my car by prying off the back little window.
They mentioned that the only thing they can do is replace the whole door
to fix the problem. Then I asked if it will be covered under the warrenty
and they said no because it was not there defect it was an outside source.
Now my problem with their bull**** answer is that first there was no signs
of scratches or damage around the window to even suspect car theft, and
second who would want to break into my inexpensive Saturn car?
So anyway what I am asking is does anyone have any advice to give me on
how to fix this situation? (My car is still within the 3 year-36 thousand
mile warranty limits.) It seems as if I can pop the window back into
alignment if I just new the proper technique on how to do it. I tried
pushing it back into place but is won't budge.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thank you in
advance.

....is it possible to visit another dealer and just ask them how much they
want to repair? They'll either say the same as your dealer, or more likely
say "Sure" and tell you how much it will cost. If you let them fix it,
maybe consider explaining that it was fine for X amount of time and then out
of the blue it started doing this, and then in a tone of voice that sounds
like a question, ask if it shouldn't be under warranty. If they say "No,
sorry", then ask if there's any good will money they could use to even
reduce the bill somewhat since you feel a newish car shouldn't do this.
Just remember to keep your cool.

A theif wont bother taking the time to pop your window out nice and
neat. They would just bust a side window and go right in. Goto another
Saturn dealer and tell them your trim started coming off while you were
going down the highway at 65mph.

lets talk a little about car theft. and your question "who would want to
break into my inexpensive Saturn car?". First, i can't talk from personal
experience that i have had my 93 SL2 saturn stolen and recovered within 2
weeks and i am still driving it to this day. i also have had my car broken
into before it was stolen when the busted my window and took my stereo and
tried to take my back speakers. second, to answer your question, saturn is
the most stolen car in
america(http://autos.msn.com/advice/article....d=2891&src=Ins).
but why? i will tell you. They are the most easiest car to steal. the
thief who stole my car probably took at tops 30 seconds from point of
contact with my car to the point of starting my car. all it takes is a
pair of scissors or a screwdriver. its so simple. and it was probably some
little punk kids doing it too. but all i can say is its in your car
insurance company hands now, and the dealer cant do anything for you.
