im no car guru to say the least, but today in my 94 accord, my power window would not come up. instead, and metal wire came out, and would go back down upon pressing the switch. that being said, i have done quite a bit of googling, and it appears i need a new regulator.

I know how to remove my door panel, but am unsure about the next step(s). are there any good graphical tutorials i could use or any other good resources that might be helpful in replacing this? How difficult is it?

All advice and comments are welcome. Thank you in advance.

 

1. Remove:
Door panel
Plastic cover
2. Driver's:
Remove the power window switch from the door
panel, then connect it to the door harness (see page
20-26).
3. Carefully move the glass until you can see the bolts,
then remove them.
NOTE: Take care not to drop the glass inside the
door.
4. Carefully pull the glass out through the window
slot.
NOTE: Take care not to drop the glass inside the
door.
5. Disconnect the connector, then remove the regulator
through the center hole in the door. (remove the bolts securing the regulator and motor)

 

thank you so much! i already have the door panel and everything off and i just ordered the parts off ebay. I really appreciate it.

is there anything i can do to keep the window up while i wait for the part to arrive?

 

duct tape

 

so the plastic cover isn't necessary? can you elaborate a bit more on step 2?

 

okay! got all of that accomplished yesterday, was a bit tricky but i got it all out. Any advice for putting everything back in?!

 

Success! now if i could just get her to stop leaking oil we'd be set..that's for another thread though.

Thanks

 

glad you got it all fixed

 

well sorta, sorry to open this up again.
my window goes about half way up pretty steady,
then slows down and jumps the track sorta
I have to go outside of the car and guide it right
so it goes in. any ideas?
