So i keep fixing my window and it keeps messing up after a couple days. it appears the weather strip that holds the window in place is actually bent or ruined. How hard is this to replace? its on both sides as well as inside the door near the bottom left. (driver side) also, i noticed the window still moves from side to side but i tighted the bolt. i moved the window left into place and moved the guide on the right side, left. tighted it but it still seems to move left and right a little bit. So agrovated right now i cant even type. sorry if my words are not used correctly. i just want my window fixed

if it is the weather stripping easy fix 5 min job at the very most. head to a pick n pull and grab the two pieces.

Are you talking about the run channel? If so, try and "smooth it out";
that is, make sure it is properly positioned in the door. Next, use
a generous amnt of silicone spray in the run channel. With the
window raised (or in theory where the fully raised window would sit),
spray the lower aspects of the run track. With the window fully
retracted, spray the upper aspects of the run track. Also, check to
see that the front metal guide is secured inside the lower region
of the door. If this guide is not bolted down, the window can
slip out of its track and it can also shift front/back.

You may also want to spray the window regulator channel w/
silicone.

It's actually not that bad to do.
just make sure you understand how it's oriented in the frame and go to town, you'll want a small flat blade screw driver to help work it into the proper places (make sure not to puncture it!!).

I'd recommend if you're doing this, replace the regulator and whatever trim you don't like the look of as well, considering you're going to have the door that far apart.

The fix probably also requires replacing the old window regulator.

it could be simply as spraying spray silicone in the rubber strip its common for the civic to go off track
