I just did this on my 2000 Accord EX v6. My regulator was different, and ordered it online for $60. Just took 4 hours after studying this video. Make sure you have all the tools, grease, painters tape next to you. I also had baggies for the different families of screws, and I used tape to label the wire connectors. Thanks 1a-auto!

[@jeffeagan4879]

I did it in one hour because I watched this video , thank you so much , never would have attempted otherwise, another satisfied customer

[@1AAuto]

jeff eagan Glad we could help. Thanks for watching

[@JohnMyers326]

Clear, concise, and easy to follow. Got the job done in about an hour. Better than new. Thanks for the great video.

[@Scorpio76688]

It was my window regulator that was the problem. I wouldn't have thought it could be the regulator, because my window would do up and down. A new regulator fixed the problem. Thanks 1A Auto! Keep posting videos!

[@stevetilk4926]

Thank you for doing this video. The motor or regulator broke on a Sunday, the day before a rain storm was due so I had to fix it myself. Your video saved me from getting gouged by a mechanic at a garage. It took me a couple of hours to do the work but your video was spot on. I am just incredibly slow. The teacher is the master, his pupil is slow.

The best simple way to fix your window. I am a lady and I did it very easily, of course it took me sometime but, I did it

Just replaced my window thingy. Thank you for the video, totally help and saved me hella money.

[@BirdMantoEagleBase]

Just wanted to thank you for the video. I was able to complete this fix in about 45 minutes with a great result. Great job!

[@1AAuto]

If the window dropped it either means the motor broke internally or the regulator cables snapped causing it to fall.

[@eccetante]

Another happy customer. Fantastic turn-around time. I ordered my regulator online and it was here within four days. Just kept the video up and had no problems following the step-by-step. Thanks for all your help! Think I might replace a couple of power door lock actuators next... =)

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

Wow!! Ordered the regulator Monday afternoon and it was at my door the next morning!! Love that overnight shipping! Thanks to the video installation was pretty straightforward (with a minimum of sailor swearing) ... saved $150 on this fix!! Thank you! Thank you!

[@1AAuto]

+hurdygurdyguy1 Thank you for your feedback! We are happy we could help.

[@mooseo]

I watched 2 or 3 videos before starting this job. 1A dis did a good job of fast forwarding through the obvious steps. Every step on my car went just like in the video. Took about an hour. Hardly swore at all. Thanks!

[@mysnellvilleblog]

I want to THANK YOU so much for this video. It took me about 3.5 hours with some help from a neighbor. The sticky stuff that holds the plastic liner up is extremely messy, so anyone doing this should wear old clothes & take care to avoid getting it on you.

[@1AAuto]

@BenVereen2020 You can re-use the sealer that's already on the plastic. It usually will stacy tacky for you.

[@neoedmundx]

Thanks a bunch! This video is great! Took me just over an hour to swap out a defective regulator. Saved me a bundle in mechanic fees! You guys rock!

[@jamesm6576]

This video was so useful and helpful three years ago when my Accord's power window motor went out on the driver's side. The passenger side gets its turn now, lol. Thanks so much for the excellent video and as I want to note--that advice not to overtighten the bolts is so right. Much appreciation!

[@greghmerrilldfw]

Great video, gave me exactly what I needed to get this job done myself. And I am *not* very repair-savvy, so that's saying something. One slight challenge I faced was that my window was initially stuck in the "up" position. I could not lower the window to a point where the bolts were visible (as you see at around 5:20 in the video). Fortunately, my arms and hands are pretty small, so I was able to reach in through the big hole in the bottom left of the door with a small 10MM wrench and blindy loosen them. Aside from that, everything went just like the video for me.

[@parkerrogers2277]

Greg Merrill Thank you for making this comment. I will be doing this exact thing.

[@ncr101]

Thank you for this tip. It's the only advice I found in all the Internet about how to deal with this situation. Unfortunately I don't have small hands but my 5 inch long 10mm open wrench could reach the bolts into the crevasse from above next to the window. A longer wrench might be obstructed by the window. Fortunately there was no tightening torque on the bolt. However, there was no headroom to remove the forward bolt. I used cut up pieces of a thickfoam pool noodle to wedge the window glass as far outward as possible, then I could unscrew the bolt entirely. The foam rubber also held the glass in place. This step took me more time than all of the other steps combined.

[@maryludlow6863]

Thank you, I saved $100 by doing the repair. I recommend a 10mm ratcheting box end wrench for the bolt that you will have to remove through the speaker hole (if your motor does not have the capability to go up). Very frustrating with standard wrench. The repair would've been shorter with rachet wrech, with tools I had and first time ever doing this repair 2 hours.

[@Sonyag1]

Thank you 1A Auto! I replaced both front regulators on my 98 Honda with parts purchased from your web store. The passenger side was failing and the driver's side stopped working all together after 21 years. The video made the replacement easier and the new regulators work just like the OEM.

[@1AAuto]

You will most likely end up having to replace the window regulator and motor to get rid of any doubt about which one is bad. What can happen over time is the bracket can get worn out and bend or create a groove causing it to get bound up at certain points.

[@jrod22986]

Thanks for the video. Replacing these on my vehicle has saved me at least $1000 over the years!

[@1AAuto]

@Scorpio76688 On the regulator you may want to take off the door panel and check the regulator and the motor to see if there's any slack in the cable or something that's not keeping it held up into place. We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows you how to replace a convertible top.

[@dreilly5791]

you probably don't hear this enough but thanks for making these videos. very helpful again thanks

[@christinadonat9110]

I had the situation of the window motor dying. 😔 It was painful but it can be done by feel using a 10mm wrench to loosen them and by hand the rest of the way. Just take your time, take breaks, and be patient. For the left bolt you’ll have to put both arms through the left side but you can put one arm on each side for the right bolt. Other than this snag, it went perfect! Your videos are great and explain everything thoroughly, thank you. 🙏🏼

[@pezlover88888]

[@1AAuto]

@FFlyMan The 2001 Honda Civic may be a little different. The process to remove it would be the same, such as you need to remove the door panel and tape up the window etc.

[@1AAuto]

@mmmKyronmmm You may want to remove the door panel and roll the window up and down while you look inside to see if the regulator is binding on anything.

[@1AAuto]

@donmoocao It could be the master switch that has gone bad or you might have a broken wire between the door and body of the car. I would check there for any broken or frayed wires. Hope this helps you out.

[@1AAuto]

@Waterpolodude3 If you need to replace the window regulator you can take the door panel off and try to push up on the window from inside of the door. If this doesn't work you could cut the window regulator cable, then that should free the window up so that you can then push it into the up position and tape it into place. Hope this helps you out.

Thank you again for the training and tips!! Your training video helped me replace the driver's side window regulator/motor, earlier this year, on 2002 Honda Accord LX 4 Door. Now you helped me replace the same on the passenger side. All working well. Much appreciated!!

[@1AAuto]

There may be some adjustment on the window that you might need to make.

[@mcpuffenstuff6213]

Awesome video, fixed in about 1.5 hours bc I couldn't find a 10 mm haha. Regulator part cost $30, and saved me upwards of $200 in labor, thanks.

yes this is very similar to the 2004. It might slightly differ because that is the new model.

Great walk through. I was able to replace the regulator on my 02 Accord thanks to this. The only problem I had was that my window was stuck down so I couldn't get those two screw connecting the window to the regulator off so easily. I kind of had to wing it but it worked out.

Thanks for posting this - you just saved me a bunch of time, money, and frustration! Much appreciated.

[@squirrelattackspidy]

If the window is going up at an angle (tilting forward) and stops, basically dying half way up and I have to push it up the rest of the way, it is something other than the regulator? Could the motor be bad or it is something I can adjust on the track to fix it? Thanks!

[@jamesmurray6295]

Thank you for the training and tips!! 2002 Honda Accord driver’s side, front window now working well!!

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

Great video! I'm ordering a driver side regulator for my 2000 Honda right now from your site!

[@1AAuto]

Most likely if the window is hitting the motor, there is something broken and the quickest and easiest fix would be to replace the window regulator.

[@1AAuto]

If there's anything sticky on the window you should try to get it off, as this will slow the window down. You could also spray all for the seals around the window with a silicone spray. That should also help to speed it up.

[@1AAuto]

Lowe's also carries the Kobalt tools which are great also.

[@leroyfarmer]

I got it done this afternoon. I had a couple hangups because I had never done this before. I watched the video several times and got through it at a fraction of what the cost the shop wanted to fix this issue .

[@rogerhelbig9458]

The window frequently cycles when it is at the top; is this due to defective window regulator or something else that is supposed to turn off the motor when it reaches the top. This has been happening for a long time. Came to your videos because the inner door handle just disconnected. Glad I did. Thank you.

[@DallasTwiford]

My window regulator "exploded"! Both springs let go and sounded like a gun shot. Then the window started to slowly open. Thanks to this video, I was able to diagnose the issue, order the correct part and get it installed with out issue. Upgraded the speakers while I was in there. THANKS!

This video is very informative! I've got an accord that the driver side window is not closing up completely but will go down without a problem. Before I order the part in your website, you think I would need a regulator with motor or just the motor?

[@efthimios]

Thanks for the great instruction. My 2000 accord driver side window of a sudden stopped closing all the way up.. And made a clicking sound if you held the button.. Hope this helps others diagnose towards a new regulator.

[@Jayhawk2004]

Great video. They shipped fast too, on the windows regulator I had purchased from 1A Auto!

[@gregmilewski8417]

I did this about 2 years ago, ever since then if my window is more the three quarters down, when I shut my door it sounds like the window is about to break. And then recently when I roll my window up the front doesn't want to roll up the last 2 inches and it kicks the back outside the jam. What did I do wrong, or is the requlator just goin out after a couple years?

[@jazwar3285]

Awesome good camera angles.

[@1AAuto]

You're welcome.

[@donmoocao]

Hi, your videos are really good and informative. Both my driver side window and passenger side window in my Accord coupe will not work using the buttons on the driver side. However, the passenger side window works if I use the button that is on the passenger side. Is this fixed by replacing the regulator on the driver side or is it a different part that I should be replacing?

ok so i used this tutorial before and replaced my driver side window regulator, i need to replace my passenger one now, but the link above and stuff i seen online show an entirely different looking regulator for my 98 honda passenger side, than what I put in my driver side a couple years ago. Why are they so vastly different looking?

[@khmerz97]

Hello, my accords window won't go up or down and I have not taken a look at the regulator yet to see what is actually going on, but basically when I press the button it just makes the window go up and down while the motor hits the window. It isn't broken right? It seems as if it is just out of place.

[@quickenergyasc]

Hello, Great video. Have a 2000 Honda Accord EX 2-dr coupe 2.3l 4cyl ... having a problem with drivers side window. Goes almost all the way up but starts "knocking" when trying to close the last 1/4" or so. What can this be? Adjustment/Regulator/ Motor??? Please help, Thanks Anthony!

[@mentalsubjugation]

the process for removal and installation of the actual regulator is very different on a coupe vs. a sedan, just thought i should let you know, since the regulator itself is very different.

[@ramseyc2012]

i did this and there is a rubber piece on the door that came off i cant figure out what the part is called to even look it up i think it helps keep the window on track

[@Burgergio]

So my window doesn’t go up anymore. I took it apart and I initially thought it was because of some glass that got in there because my side mirror was smashed earlier. After looking inside I’m not sure it’s because of glass. It makes a screeching noise when I try to make the window go up, but it only goes up about 1 inch before stopping completely. You think it’s the regulator?

[@1AAuto]

+Regino Rojas It is very likely this is the issue

[@BonnieWilliams2571]

I have a 2002 honda accord where the passenger front window and the back driver side window will not go up or down, but the driver side and the passenger side back windows work totally fine. Do you think that it is the window regulator, or would it just be a fuse that went bad?

[@alexjimenez6078]

What time of glue have to use to keep window in place

[@3AMVideo]

Yes , Thank you much for this video you saved me a lot of time/ headaches trying to figure out how each part comes off and how the new 1 goes on. Great tutorial

[@onebadasian]

I ordered a window track from you guys about 6 months ago and installed it like the video. My problem was when the window goes up, it doesn't go into the window gap correctly. it shifts the window forward so there's a gap in front and back of the window. it does start in the window door gap. Any solutions?

[@markdushkin1809]

[@Scorpio76688]

@1aauto When the window hits the top, it want to keep going up but it will hit and bounce down a quarter of an inch, and then back up till it hits the top, and bounces down a quarter of an inch, and keeps doing that over and over/ It doesn't stop when it get to the top, like my passenger side window. What do you think the problem could be?
