Default BROKEN CRX WINDOW HELP! ASAP.... ITS GETTING REALLY REALLY HOT OUT!!!!

Both passenger and driver windows will not go up and down properly. The Driver window can go up and down with ALOT of alignment help but the passenger is having severe problems. Just wondering if anyone can give me a step by step walkthrough of how to fix the windows and get them so they will both roll up and down easily. its too damn hot to have these windows up all the time.

The glass should have a tab with a bolt on each end. Take the bolts out, grab the top of the glass and tilt it towards the bumper and lift it out. Put your handle back on without the clip, roll it up and down to see where its binding. If you want to remove the frame and crank mechanism just remove the bolts, 6 or so, one is in a slotted hole for adjustment.

Helms or Haynes manual has a pretty decent write-up on removal and installation. In my experience adjust has always been trial and error.

Yea, it seems like all the metal webing in the door really makes it tough to get at all that stuff. I think maybe the glass has come out of the clips that hold it to the (up and down mechanism) because as I roll it up the whole glass will rock forward and I'll have to hold it in place and crank and pull on the glass to keep it going up or down right. And the driver side really won't stay lined up with the track either.


If anyone has some specific tips as to why the glass would be moving around so much, Id really appreciate it.

OUCH that was harsh.

I have been having the same problem with my passenger side window. it seems to roll up okay till it gets near the top then it tilts WAY forward . It can almost look normal with a lot of guidance but I'm yet to figure out what is wrong. the track doesn't seem to be binding anywhere. and it stays in those little guide rails till it's towards the top and then it gets all F*ck*d

I'm going to give it another shot this weekend so I'll let you know if I make any progress. Good luck

Remove door panel......

Remove vapor barrier (that plastic crap between the door panel and door)

On the door there will be two holes in the steel which allow access to the (2) 10mm bolts holding the window to the regulator. You may have to roll the window up or down a little to get them to line up with the access holes.

Using a 10mm socket on a 6+ inch extension: Remove the two bolts and slide window up to the top of the frame and hold in place with tape, or have a helper hold it. (if the door doesn't have a window frame, use the helper method)

Remove the 3 or 4 bolts holding the window regulator in (all located around the window crank spindle) and remove the window regulator.

Grease the gears on the regulator, or replace the regulator as needed.

Re-install everything as it came apart...

I'm doing this from memory so I hope I have everything right. I used to do stereo install and theft repair, so I've done about 100+ windows in my day
Hope this helps...
