Are the window regulators easy or hard to install

 

It's not an impossible job, but it is rather involved; what with removeing the interior door panels, window channels and the glass.
You'll need a second pair of hands to hold in place the glass when it comes time to re-install the window channel guides and properly aligning them (probably the reason the regulator Sh..t the bed in the first place.

Mr P-sir,, You do not have to remove the channel nor the window to replace the regulator,, Just unbolt the window from regulator 2 ,10mm bolts, raise window all the way up while still in the channel, put some tape around the window and top of door to hold the window up, replace regulator, when done, slide the window back down and reattach to regulator ..

 

Mr.P, i think Honda-master is correct(i had to fix three different honda's window in less than 2 month, damn it )

the regulator could be taken off very easy for the newer honda with track, i did a repair for the frist generation legend coupe, the cable pull/push track had to came off and it's pain in the ****. not to mention all the plastic is alrealy harden and it
s breaking and cracking under any force applied.

 

Yep....you have it down !

 

True, but if you don't address the window channel issues (which are responcible for 75% of Honda window failures), he'll be right back doing the job again. This is an example of fixing the effect (regulator) as opposed to fixing the cause (channels). Do it once, do it right.
In all fairness however, perhaps I should amend my suggestion.

"It's not an impossible job, but it is rather involved; what with removing the interior door panels to get at the regulator, but attention should be given to the underlying problem of why the regulator broke. You will most likely be adjusting, cleaning and re-aligning the window and associated channels to eliminate the bind which 'ghosted' your regulator"
