Window problems
So I need two new window regulators.
To start off. My car is a Honda Accord 2000 v6 LX model. 96k miles.
One for the passenger and one for the right rear passenger window. Both motors sound fine but they go down by them selves. I took it to a shop and they said it's the window regulators. They say it'll cost about 145$ for a new regulator and motor plus another 50 for installation. So that's about 200$ each. Obviously I know these guys are snakes and charge ridiculous prices. I'm sure I could find a diy for the Windows.
My problem is. I don't know where to buy the window regulators from. At a cheap yet reliable price. My budget is about 100$. Is this doable? Thanks. I need this fixed asap because it's begun raining like crazy again and I'm always worried about water getting in.
This is my first car so it has its problems but I'm fixing it little by little as I don't make much money from my job.

Re: Window problems
Go to the pick-and-pull salvage yard. Find a low-mile car with a good interior and pull what you need. Really cheap. Plus you see how they come out so you will know how to install yours. And if they should not work properly, the yard gives you 30 days to return it.

Those guys definitely are snakes because the regulator/motor assembly doesn't control the window, the window switch does. With this happening to more than one window I think the master window switch (driver's door) is to blame. You need to test the master switch.
Best thing for you to do is get a service manual. Not a Chilton's or Haynes, am OEM service manual. Cheapest and easiest way is to get a download or CD from eBay. Or a paper copy can be had here for about $60: http://www.helminc.com/helm/homepage.asp?Style=helm
