i have a 98 hatch and im wondering how you convert it to oem power windows. i had a cheap window kit in there that worked for a month or 2 but i want to change it over to OEM. i heard there's something about a floor harness or something. can somebody tell me the exact parts i need and wat else i would need to get the power locks as well. thanks.

 

best way to go about this is find a ex civic at a junkyard. take the whole setup motor/actuator/harness/switches/panels

Maybe that was just you.

My '98 EX coupe has had no power window issues.

My '97 EX coupe had no power window issues. It did once pop the passenger window off the track.

My boyfriend's CX hatch has also had his passenger window pop off the track in exactly the same way.

 

yea but even the crank windows like on the dx can be a pain in the ***. I had to fix my left drivers window like 3 times.

 

yea you going to need the whole harness from the ecu to the door so pretty much all the new harness

 

It would be nice to have power windows. I too have a DX model which has almost no power anything, but I feel that it is more reliable in the long run. The only problem I have ever had is that this winter, the oil/lube for the track/hinges etc froze and my window popped a little bit. But of course it was about -10 outside so it didn't really bother me. I would probably say to just keep the manual windows!!!

 

i would've kept the manual windows but i threw them out when i got the type r panels. and a cheap power window kit. so how mnay harnesses is there that i need to get

 

here you go. the how to and all parts needed.
