In this episode, I replace the front driver window regulator / motor in a 2000 Honda CR-V. Hopefully I make this one of the easiest DIY repairs you've done!

Thank you so much! I'm a rural carrier for USPS and these CRV's are the greatest for driving in the middle, plus the reliability. I have an 04 CRV as my primary, but I picked up a 97 CRV, for an emergency backup, for a steal, but the window wouldn't work. But, I can truly say from first hand experience, as a guy who relies on his vehicle for his livelihood, these CRV's outshine, outlast, and outperform any Jeep, Ford, or Chevy in the Midwestern winters. Thx bud.

Thank you, I have the same model unoperative mechanism. Water entered worm drive and siezed the gear. Needed derusting and greasing, working fine, no need to replace assembly. Here in Australia the car is right-hand drive and the screws are located slightly different, making the job a pain. Otherwise it is a simple repair.

@@sneakersam8713 you can't really look at it and tell. Usually they will have valve chatter, esp on cold start up. I would recommend doing a lash adjustment. These are prone to getting too tight and burning valves.

this was one of the easiest and most satisfying repairs i think ive ever done on a car, largely due to this video. Everything was just like you showed it in the video, none of my plastic clips snapped, and the payoff was immediate. Very glad to have my window working again thanks. It hardly took longer than this video to do and a lot of that was fussing with the moisture barrier.

The night before I had to take my 01 CRV in for an inspection appt. my driver side window failed to go up. It had been acting funny off and on once in a while for couple months but decided to die then. I thought about just taking it in and let the mechanics fix it. But I replaced one on a caravan a long time ago and remembered it wasn't too hard to do. So I just went and ordered the Dorman brand off Amazon which looked well made and prelubed. 2 days later got it and would of regretted paying someone to fix it as it was not hard at all to do. Thanks for your well made videos.

Since your comments are two years old, you may not see this but I will continue, anyway... I have a 2000 CRV and since the rains came in California, the last ten days, all four of my windows started rolling up only half way! (I had to 'help' with pulling them up with the button on.).. The behaviors went back to normal but my driver's window has been at it for a couple of weeks, is really a pill.. Do you know if this indicates a different part, a motor, a fuse, not functioning, or all four regulators at once. (Hope not.) Or something else.? Guess I am posing this question to the commentor, the video maker (thank you) or to anyone reading, who has some familiarity/knowledge with this? Appreciate that. Thanks.

Great vid, helpful!! I used a DORMAN regulator/motor off Amazon $54.99, you can look all of their CRV stuff using the Dorman website to be sure your getting the correct part #. They usually make good stuff and if they find anything that can be improved on they usually do that as well. In this case the upper right and lower left mounting bolts were already in place which was helpful as those bolt holes in the door are slotted so you can just hang the new regulator in place and it aligns all the other bolt holes so your not fishing around and trying to line stuff up with one hand and thread the bolt with the other.

The missing piece of plastic is called a vapor barrier. Best to replace it. Rain runs down the window, and drains out the bottom of the door. The vapor barrier protects the door panel, and keeps all that moisture from getting into the interior of the car. But thanks for the video- I'm about to go out and replace the same drivers regulator on my '99!

Again, just to see if it was possible, scrapped off the rust and grease/rust paste and reassembled it & the thing ran - sort of. Into the steel recycling stream it goes! *I totally agree with you that the whole assembly should be replaced & not just the motor/gear sub-assembly* Again, thank you very much & stay safe.
