1998 Civic EX 390K going into semi retirement from my DD 35K year to my Son's 2 mile commute to work....

My driver side window slips down 3/8-1/2" when I "roll" it up it bangs, clanks or thumps at the top as long as you have the power button on.....that is it just doesn't stop. I did a visual inspection and didn't see anything out of place.....(the window itself became "un-clamped" a few years ago)

Is there any stop adjustment on these? Should I assume the top teeth are worn and need a new motor? I looked online and didn't really find anything.

Any help is appreciated....

Thanks
Rick

 

My guess is the last teeth on the regulator are worn out, just replace the regulator, [$32 at PicknPull] .

Is that Jackson Michigan or Mississippi? 94

 

Jackson Michigan......headed to Fox auto tomorrow......rite of passage for my son.....going to pick and pull.

I did a visual but did not disassemble the motor or drive what part is the regulator?

 

if you can't find anything there. Check out car-part.com it's the national database where you can search in Michigan junkyards that have that part!

The regulator are the gears, and the entire device that pushes and pulls the glass down/up. The motor attaches to it.

 

I looked it up......thanks...hopefully it won't be hard to pull without power.....cycling the window...

 

I think it comes out rather easily, just have to take it off the glass, then the assembly comes out, usually with the motor attached. And hey you're welcome! Hope ya find a good one!

 

Thanks.......looking forward to getting my son to the pick and pull.....Fox had several Honda's this vintage last time I was there.

We will scrounge for:
Window regulator
wiper motor
misc screws and clips
maybe a rotor screw.....ect

 

well good luck! and have fun with the father/son boding time! hope you get everything you wanted from the cars!

 

Removal is easy, unbolt glass from regulator, [2 bolts] and remove or just wedge in place up as high as you can get it.

Unbolt the regulator, [3 bolts] and remove regulator.

Motor is removable but you will most likely have to remove the regulator to get the motor off it , and only a $5 difference in price.

Recommend also bringing a ~12v battery plus some leads to connect the motor and run it up and down, esp to get the glass out.

 

Window motor will run on as little a 9V, so a cordless drill batt. is what I bring to the bone yard. 94
