I have a 2000 honda civic si, but for some reason my power window on the driver side isnt working properly, it does not close fully all the way, when its close to the top with a minor gap to the top and the windows seems to keep trying to close all the way but does not, i can hear and see the window moving, any ideas on what it is? think it needs a new motor ?

Some teeth are probably broken from the window regulator and is not letting the window go all the way up.
I do not know the appropriate name of that specific part though.

Is that piece replaceable or do i have to replace the whole thing with the motor?

This is a very common problem. Had the same thing happen with my 99 SI years ago. I bought new regulators from the dealer and problem was solved. I miss that car.

dragonkx

was the 99 bucks with labor the part was it new or used? oem?

SVOHK

What you should do is buy a oem regulator or aftermarket your choice and take it to a shop. It will make things easier, so you wont have to wait for them to order the part, and you will know what part is going to your car.

well i have looked at hondas site and it ranges up to 100 dollars for that piece alone, from that picture you have to buy the whole part, but i have also looke at like autozone and they do carry it, but it has to be special ordered from where im at, but its only around 30 bucks, hope i can install it and it works fine.

SVOHK

Yes install it yourself so you could learn.
Civic are very common to have that problem so next time it happens you already know what to do.

new dont know if its oem or not

I just fixed this problem on my 2000 SI. I bought a new regulator from majestic honda(hondaautomotiveparts.com) for like $60 and fixed it myself in a matter of 20 minutes or so. Once you take the regulator out, you will see the teeth ground down

Very common problem. If I recall, Honda improved the design on the regulator, so if you were to buy OEM, it'll be nicer than the one that's falling apart in your door currently. Not all too difficult to replace, just be careful with the moisture guard if you're reusing it and with taking the glass out.

Speaking of, I still need to replace mine.

dragonkx

I've had a '97 EX coupe and a '97 CX hatch that both had the passenger window glass pop clear out of the top of the window track.

The regulators bent in both cars, caused at least in part because the window tracks within the doors were not properly lubricated in so long.

It seems power and manual windows both have this issue. In fact, the manual windows had it far worse on the two cars I mentioned above.

My '98 EX coupe has had zero problems though. I've lubricated the tracks with silicone spray every so often (DO NOT USE white lithium grease - it's for metal on metal and can damage plastic and rubber). I've had this car for seven years without a problem.

Oh, and never force your windows up if you begin to see they're slowing down while going up or down.
