Default Trying to install power windows......

I have been reading and searching, and everybody has been saying that coupe EG stuff bolts right up to hatchback EG's. Well, the window regulator doesn't seem to bolt up right. Below is a pic of what I am talkign about. The manual bolts line up to make a rectangel shape, and the electric ones line up to make a pyramid shaped quadrilateral. Any help would be much appreciated.

I wish I could be of more help, but I won't be doing this swap for another two weeks.

you sure you're puttin the right regulator in the right door? they should line up fine. you might have to move the arms a bit, but they will line up fine.

Are you bolting in the left two first, I looked at a few pictures, there isn't a difference in bolt pattern so it's just the way it aligns. Is the window crank still in the way? I would attempt to bolt in keeping everything somewhat loose then tightening everything down. I know there isn't anything I can tell you that you haven't attempted with two hours of clocked time, but not physically being able to see this is difficult.

I'm tired...I meant the right two cause those you will be able to move up and down until you tighten, opposed to the left side just setting there once the bolts are placed in.

Yes they fit. You only use 2 of the original holes (if i'm remembering correctly). The other 2 are like right above and right below the other 2 holes.



See the other hole on the bottom right? One bolt goes in there. I don't remember but I think there's another one just like it in the top right where the bolt bolts up to.

Anybody know where I can get one of these relays? I checked planet honda and they weren't on their site. It has to be on that Majestic Honda parts site, but I have no idea what relay it is.

You could try. It all depends if they connectors actually fit together. But, you can always cut the harnesses and splice the wires. As long they are all going to the right place.....

I have no idea. You can go to a junk yard and find a POS civic and get the relay from that one and try it out. Just pocket the relay, nobody will miss it.......

Or just buy it LOL

to make it easier start the bolt in the regulator and then youll see the holes it goes in are like the shape of a pendulum, thats so you can put the regulator on with the screws already started so you dont have to break your wrist trying to hold everything lined up inside the door.

Cool, thanks for the advice.

You might want to try DAP or HAP, they both sell used honda parts for decent prices.
