Default window off track...won't close properly

Anyone else have this problem with their rex? I have taken the door panel off and tried to align the window but it keeps not closing right. If I roll the window all the way down then it rolls up fine about 3/4 way up then the back part hangs out about 1/4". It goes out and stays forward alittle bit. I hope this makes sence. Anyone got anything I can try?

My '97 Civic used to have a similar problem, just had to tweek the window tracks. Sort of a trial and error thing.

What does the regulator look like? Is it that whole assembly that the window sits in?

Regulator is the arms that lift the window.

I didn't think you could just replace those arms, but i have been wrong many times before so this would not be a first. I wonder if I could use the one from the passanger door? I have a spare passanger side door.

I was having the same problem and I ended up loosening the rails on both sides and moving them in. Another thing that was wrong with mine is there are little round plastic like slides? that it actually moves on sometimes they go bad check and see if they are popping off of the regulator

(i doubt its your regulator)so far mine and my closest friends CRXs have had this problem.. we used jb weld and 2 tone epoxy to hold them in place. when you open the door up fill the feet with the mixture and make sure that the sides line up with the tracks on the door.... the best advice i can give is, have a friend help you(to hold the window up) and take your time!!!


Hpoe this helped

There are a lot of moving parts on this thing. Could you give a better description of what to do or even a pic.
