As title says.. I have a 98 DX and I can push the window down from the outside of the car by hand! Obviously, I can't keep anything valuable in the car so I'd like to fix this ASAP.

Any ideas what it might be? It goes up and down very easily....but obviously its going down TOO easily lol..

 

power or manual windows?

 

Aren't all DX's manual? New to Hondas so I assumed...

mines is Manual

 

Yes they are. Is this for BOTH windows? I can't do this on my wife's DX.

 

no just the drivers side. Its obviously not working properly. If I put my hand ON the window and push down it moves down (from outside with the door closed).... thats by no means normal...

Just wanted to know if anyone had any idea what could be broken...

 

haha sorry but i had to ask... this is a honda, people who buy stock looking cars usually end up with parts from like 5 different models lol.

anyways, when you push down on the window does the crank on the inside of the door rotate as well? your going to have to take off the door panel to fix anything anyways, so you mind as well dig into that. Its really simple, like 5 screws and thats it.

 

yea its ridiculously easy to move the window... when I'm on the highway the wind actually moves it down slightly and I have to hold the manual handle to keep it closed so I don't have to hear annoying wind noise....

I'll take it apart today and try to figure it out...

 

i guess you can never be locked out of your car =oD lol.

 

You could probably fix the problem by replacing the window regulator.

 

the teeth on the x-arm that raises and closes the window are probably stripped...

 

This.
