Was your new channel a kit specific for your car or pieces from various different sources?
Before I hook up the winder to the window, I always run the glass up and down with my hand to look for interference or tight places. After I am satisfied the glass goes up and down easily then I hook up the winder.
Could you possibly have a 34 winder in that side? Maybe mismarked as a 33? As a 33 owner you probably already know this but the 34 glass goes up and then after it is all the way up, if you continue cranking, it moves straight back a little to make a "vent" at the front of the window opening. That is why 34 doors have that filler piece at the back of the window opening, so when closed there is no gap at the back.
