Civic EG

I bought my first civic, a 93 VX, and it didn't have a driver's window. I've replaced a few windows before on other cars, but I am having trouble with this one. I got some new glass from another EG hatch and I installed it, but it seems like the rear side of the glass is lifting higher than the front side and then it pops off the track. In order to get it closed, I have to be lifting the front and pressing down on the back, while I roll it up. I don't even have the door panel on yet because I couldn't close it without it.

Any ideas?

this is what you need------------>>>>>>>http://www.ebay.com/itm/DORMAN-740-763-Window-Regulator-/260760548817?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1995%7CModel%3ACivic&vxp=mtr&hash=item3cb68a35d1#ht_1605wt_1037<<<<<<<---------------

it can also be the little tabs that attach the window to the regulator. they are the ones right in front of #17

OR the regulator itself. Mine used to tilt and pop off the track until I took it out and hit it with a sludge hammer. Apparently they get bent over time and it causes this. There's a DIY for this somewhere on this site. Here it is good sir http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=147 ... ght=window

This is kinda what I am thinking... I'll check it out. Thanks!

I tried bending it back with no luck as of yet. I've considered just buying a new regulator, but mine is manual, not power. I'm having a hard time finding a driver, front, manual regulator. (And I can't search ebay from work, so other than there, no luck...)
