So many Civic owners have trouble with their windows.
the come off the track and then are unable to use them.
So if your window:
-Is off track
-Rattles when you close the door
-wont go up all the way
-or just plain messed up
Follow these steps to repair it. For Good!
Here is the problem to start.
First start by removing your door panel.
Now remove the window. to do so loosen the two screws on each side.
they dont have to come all the way out. enough to slide the track off of it.
once you have taken the window out Remove the 6 10m screws holding the regulator on
Then drop the track through the hole.
Once the track is removed inspect it and look for bends in the metal.
they usually all bend in the same place
(because people get fustrated and yank on the crank going "fukin window wont go up!%$*" and then bend something)
now you have 2 options. bend the metal straight again and pur it back in orrrr re-enforce it so it wont happen again.
since this is the 3rd time its happened im going to fix it for good.
cut metal to fit
place metal
attach metal
annd your done
now install the regulator back in the door.
then put the glass in.
when doing this make sure you lube up the grove in which it slides in
then slide the window all the way down and screw those 2 bolts tight again.
then try it out!
put your door panel back on and your set!
hope this helps some people.
others may not need it.
Enjoy!
