slightly off topic but my drivers side window (01 WRX) has been lifted (up, not out)/pushed forward and now it doesn't seal properly. Who would be the best person to see about realigning it?

It is probably the small triangle behind the mirror that is loose.
They come loose with age, I popped it out and sika'd it in and gave some tempoary relief for about 2 years.
Push on the triangle plastic when it is making the noise and see if it goes away. then remove the triangle put sikaflex in the holes and push triangle back in place. Make sure you do this with the door open so it sits flat. Wait to dry and viola! quiet car again (well quieter)

imho, $300 is chicken feed considering how big they are...
