Default driver side window problems

Lately I have had to hold the window on track basically when i roll it up otherwise it will not stay on track. I took the door panel off and some of the bolt holes are stripped basically. Is there any way to fix this without getting a new door?

honda power windows suck like that, you will need to see if anything is bent, if not you will need a new window regulator. It is the part that scissors, bout 45 bucks at the dealer.

Well, if it's you know nothing is bent, then just buy new bolts. I had the same problem 3 months ago. The bolts became loose that hold the regulator to the door, and when I went to roll it up, it twisted and bent the left arm on the scissors. Had to buy the whole assembly, a whopping $30 from an auto recycler. I suspect this is what you will end up having to do. I have fixed or helped fix many Honda windows that came off track, and I find that buying the regulator is quick, cheap, and always works.

well after searching and reading up more on this it looks like im going to have to get a new regulator. Not because its bent, but because the holes are stripped in it so the bolts wont even tighten(i think)...ugh

back out to put my door panel back on
