Default Power Windows not going down.

Hey guys

I have a 88 Honda Civic 4dr and i have power windows that are a pain in the ***. The rear pass windows are not going down at all. When you press the button for it to come down, you can hear a noise like the regulator is running. That goes for both rear pass windows. The fronts are fine its just the rears that suck. PICS WOULD BE GREAT!! and any DIY on this on our cars?

Thanks guys

regulator = the scissor like assembly that opens and closes as windows go up and down. seriously though, lube the tracks before you go tearing your door apart.

The back door doesn't use scissor like assemblies. it uses a weird straight track which is much easier to remove than the scissor one.

But I'd also recommend lubing it first. I've replaced a number of these things and it gets old really fast.
