I was getting into my car because I dont have ac at the moment and I rolled my window down and WTF! it came off track and spend 3 hours tryingto fix the problem and get it rolled up properly again. The thing is the lil handle ball looking like thing inside that connects to a plastic thing where it is supposed to hold to keep the window steady to roll up straight Well that broke into two parts if anyone knows what I am talking about does anyone know how to fix it or should I just take it to the dealership to get raped by a 500 dollar bill charge.

so recap it came off track and the steady window arm to keep the window to roll up steady is a lil bent and broke the plastic part where the arm goes into to keep the window to roll up steady.
I dont know what to do?

 

Its totaled.


**Probally just go to a junk yard and pull a replacement. I am actually having trouble with my window off track at the moment too..

 

time for a new regulator

 

I had this prob with my old EJ. I got really good at putting it back on the track, 20 min total. I just never rolled my window down the whole way, I could never figure out why it would jump off.
Go to a junkyard and get the replacement part... fix the problem yourself, There isn't a lot going on inside the door. Pretty straight forward.

 

nothing to do with a regulator.......

 

take pic of broken part get it ID on here and then go to HT Market place and buy a new one that some one is parting out there car. then u will sava lot of money.. Good Luck

 

yeah I might go to the junk yard and see what I can do or just get a price quote at honda but ifs like gettting rapped there I am going to have to go to the junk yeard and do it myself then

 

the manual window regulatro is like 75 from the dealer. I have seen them as low as 35 or 40 on places like ebay. I would just pony up the money and get an oem unit.

 

yeah I got a quote it would be 280.00 to do everything at the dealership regulator and all. should I do it I mean I dont even know how to change this. Has anyone on here changed a manual window regulater before is it a (PITA)

 

so what you guys think I should do take it to the dealship tomorrow and pay him the 279.99 fee for everything since I dont know how to do this myself or would you guys think I should do it to the people that already have done this before?

 

Dear god man Its not that hard to do. If you think its over your head get the part yourself and pay a small service station a few bucks to instal it. The dealer ship has some of the highest labor rates around. better then half the price is going to be labor.

 

I would recommend doing it yourself. The setup is pretty simple i just changed out my regulator and track on my 00 ej8, took total of ~1hr and it was first time i have tried anything like it. All you need are some pliers, screwdrivers, a few measly sockets, and a putty knife to pop off your door panel

 

ya man c'mon. its almost as easy as changing a tyre. once u take the door panel off ur half way there. then it a few bolts u take out, then glass and re assemble its very simple.

 

almost as easy as spelling TIRE!

 

no i like it tyre (spelled it that way on purpose)

 

It's interesting that the title ask s if anyone else on Honda-Tech has ever experienced this.

The window problem is a very common issue on '96-'00 Civics. It usually has to do with the tracks, regulator (scissors), trim along the window, and/or possibly can effect the window motor.

Getting the glass back on track is the easy part. Fixing it so it doesn't happen again is the challenge.

Its not hard at all, once you get the door panel off and peel off the plastic, youll see. just take your time.

 

NOFX, what's the trick to getting to not happen again? I never figured it out on my old car

You have to replace all the broken parts. Unfortunately the average Honda enthusiast might not be able to tell visually that a part is bent and therefore they won't replace it. So if you replace the tracks, but not the regulator, and the regulator is messed up, those brand new tracks are going to be toast soon.

 

hmmm, well problem car is sold. so hopefully it doesn't happen to my new one. although my passenger window has been acting up. New motor will be in order soon. besides the junkyard any suggestions?

 

well I dont just get it I have been driving around with the door panel off do I have to take out the window or what? and what bolts do I take out I really wish I had a shop manual right about now. I mean do I have to take the whole scissor thing out to replace it. I know the part is like 70 bucks and then the rest is labor. I just cant figure it out. I need to call helminc.com and get a shop manual.

 

dud its so easy....your making it out to be way more difficult thasn than it really is.

tell me what year and model of car its is and ill copy paste directions for you. Was gonna tell you to come down and ill help you but noticed you way out of cali. lol

 

Dude, it's easy. The tools that you'll need are

1x phillips screwdriver
1x 10mm socket wrench
2x *****

This link shows you how to convert to power, but you're not doing that. Just follow these instructions on removal/disassembly, and installation is the reverse.

Good luck, man up

 

where can I get those 2 plastic *****?

I mean should I try to do it myself I have a eg doesnt look like anything like a ek its a lil harder but so after seeing a ek regulator I guess its the whole window crank and all. is that all I do take the 2 10mm window bolts out than take the window out and then take the other 10mm bolts out to get the regulator out? kinda hard to explain.
