The Sad Window

[86AccordLXSdn]

So my drivers side window has some issues...

Enjoy the vid of me and my friend Isabel embracing the charms of a 22 year old Accord.

0_0 lol never seen a window do that before lol

I've looked in there and it seems a bit more complicated than that.

2 of the 3 clamps that hold the arms from the motor to the window are broken/missing. and I've tightened everything I can think of. It basically needs an entire rebuild of the tracks, arms, maybe the motor (though it's actually the strongest one in the car I think), weather seals and maybe the window class cause it is scratched from the way to has to go up and down. I need to do this on all the windows.

Summer project for sure...

Summer project for sure...just go to a junkyard power winder regulators with motors are cheap as anything for these cars. pull the entire regulator with the motor on it and swap it. easy job actually

If im on the highway driving the wind will pull my window up and it wont close tight, once it even fell off the track! I only have problems at highway speeds, your problems seem much worse XD

Yes, my name is Tyler. Only the most standard name for a Boy born from 1980-1995 or so.

Now tell me you don't fit into that age group??? - I'm betting you do!

on the wifeys car, the whole assembly broke in half at the regulator base. There about 100 bucks new from honda and take about 30 minutes after to you get the door panel off. It fixed her problem like that. Oh and the honda silicon on all tracks and seals works wonders

I may have to try some of that, one of my back windows rolls down a bit slow....it doesnt help having the sticky residue left behind from old cheapo window tint being left on them either....i gotta pick up some tint-off and get that sticky shit off my rear windows....

Wooot 200 posts...took me a few months to get 100 posts, and in under a month-ish after getting 100 posts i now have 200...crazy how fast that went lol

[MessyHonda]

[Toneloc5145]

Wow that's worse than my window. During the winter I don't even try to put it down because the switch sticks and it takes forever for the window to come back up. I did put some silicon stuff on the guides and that helped but I need to get a new switch.

[forrest89sei]

LOL,


If you need parts, Hit me up, I got the motor and tracks :wave:

[Hazwan]

I'm curious what would cause power window mechanism to fail while the manual one work perfectly even after >20 years. Too much force from the motor?
