THanks for this. Just one comment for those whose window is stopped in the closed position, as was mine. Rather than attempt to cut the cable for the window to be removed, I was able to get a longer 10mm wrench onto the two nuts to loosen and then used my fingers to undo. A little slow but eventually they came out. I undid all of the bolts holding the assembly so the assembly would drop enough to allow the window to drop from the upper guide track and then I was able to lift it out.

This is great. I'm having an issue where my window wiggles around, and gets stuck when I'm putting it up. In order to roll it up, I have to pull on it while wiggling side to side. Does that mean I need a new regulator? The motor and everything does work. It's just hard. Is something loose?

@1AAuto 4 жыл бұрын

hi there, great video....I have a question regarding a problem with passenger side window on my 2004 honda civic which is stuck in the down position [open]. I purchased the driver side window switch and that didn't fix the problem I also checked the wires in the door jamb and those are all in tact. The window does not move up manually so I am assuming the cable didn't snap so can I assume that the window regulator motor failed, if this is the case how will I be able to access the bolts that hold the window regulator to the window if it is in the lowest position in the door. Thank you in advance for your advice.

@ryangriffith1344 6 жыл бұрын

loosen all the bolts to the regulator and motor and you can pull it back far enough to loosen the window at the very bottom

cut about 10 inches of the cable from the motor tug it up till the Window feels tightly closed and secure it using the rail bolts. wrap the cable behind the bolt and tighten it. like when adjusting a bicycles brakes.

@kenkopczyk 5 жыл бұрын

How do you go about starting this job when the window is stuck in the "up" position? My switch, wiring, fuse, etc. is fine, but the motor just clicks when trying to move it up or down. Seems like a catch 22 of needing to have it down to be able to do this.

Longshot, but hopefully you can answer. Driver Window stuck in up position, motor is bad (tried jumping it directly with a batter), how do i go about lowering the window to then remove it? I have searched the internet, and have found nothing.

@1AAuto 4 жыл бұрын

+XyXInc Thanks for checking us out! You may be able to remove the regulator by removing he bolts and shimmying the assembly down to the point where you can get it to release. You may also find there are clips that hold the window glass onto the regulator down towards the bottom, some vehicles have this some do not. We hope you get this out soon! 1aauto.com
