hi, well... for some reason when i rolled down window this afternoon, it went down fine, but when i pull it up, it got stuck in the middle, and now it won't go down nor goes up.... i have a feeling that someone tried to pull the window today to jack my car...

well, i donno how to fix this !! how much would it cost to fix this??? or is it easy to fix??

 

Seems like your window just fell off the track. To fix its easy, take off your door panal and make sure its back on the track. While your there you might wanna lube up the window with any kind of silicon. This happens alot to people who get tinted windows. It has happened to me a few times. Any other questions PM me.

wow, that really helped me a lot!!! thanks , i really appreciate it... honda-tech

 

yea exactly as he said, mine did that one night, went down fine but got stuck halfway up, popped off the track

 

what would be the best type of lube to use on your window frame for smooth operation? wd-40 sucks

however it work for like a week.

any suggestions?

 

I used Mobil 1. Synthetic lube. Only because its in teh garage. But mine falls off track all the time. Matter of fact everytime i roll it down all the way. It goes Kunk.

 

In the 96-98 coupes the driver side windows falling off the track are normal. Mine does it at the least once a month. The guys at the honda dealership said they get in a few people a week with the window like that. They said it is a huge money maker for them. Because like everyone else said it only takes about 15 min to fix and they charge an hour.
I tried a grease on it and it didn't work to well, plain motor oil seems to work the best.

 

FYI there is a service buliten for this from honda so if you go in there and feel like paying the premium for new rails and tracks you won't have the problem anymore.

never happend to me before. i have power windows out of a 98 civic coupe.

 

I happened to me. I attempted to fix it but my one track is twisted, time for power.

 

honda in CT quoted me 400 bux for new regulator and rail in my 94 civic, power window that is 2 inches from closing all the way and wont go up or down now, tried fiing it myself, but no luck

Honda uses some special Spray to lube up the corners of the windows. NO clue whats its called but I know it runs around 20 a bottle or a little more!
