Default Window completely off

Hello everyone, I am freaking out quite a bit because my window has just completely fallen off. It has dropped all the way into the door now. Even if I put it on the tracks, it still won't move because it's not "connected" to the motor. The motor still spins when I push the button but the window obviously won't move. What should I do? I really don't want to bring it to Honda over this but it's terrible since I can't drive anywhere for fear of theft or weather.

Thanks guys

This happens to everybody. You are not alone.

Take off the Door Panel.

Search the bottom of the door panel for the missing bolts.

Roll the window regulator all the way down.

Get out your trusty 10mm socket.

Put the window back on the track. (by hand)

Re-insert the bolts through the window into the regulator. Tighten.

Its pretty simple and you will learn to do this all in less than 2 minutes. good luck.

Yeah, I have had to do that when it's fallen off the track before and it's real easy. But this time it's off the regulator. I guess I am gonna have to pull out the glass and look at the regulator? I'm not sure how to do that...maybe I could try just putting it on the old regulator to see if that's still good

The regulator is held in by like 6 bolts, there is nothing to it. If it's still good, put the regulator back together, if not, buy a new one.

It's a common issue
