[@yolktoker]

Never done anything like this before but thanks to your video I saved myself about $200 (quote from a local shop was $250 for parts and service). Thank you!!

[@chandlervincent4073]

Thanks so much I'm a university student and my cars regulator broke the shop told me 300-500$ this video I fixed it for 76$ Thanks so much for letting me eat this month :)

This was wonderful! My window regulator went this afternoon and I had the same thing - could hear the motor going, but nothing worked. Picked up a regulator and followed your step-by-step instructions... back in business. Thank you so much!

Ok, great video thank you for posting it. I’ll about to go and replace my daughter window regulator. I’m feeling super confident that I will have success with this after watching your video.

[@johnnyw2531]

Thanks for this my window switches are stuck but this disassembly video made it super easy to know how to take apart.

[@DoruMihai]

thanks a lot. With the help of your video I fixed mine by myself. Can't find good shops or mechanics these days. I had the exact same problem, the gear cam off the track, and I just dismounted the motor and set the track in the middle and re-coupled the motor and all was good again. So...free fix :)

[@BillySup3r]

Doru Mihai I just did the exact same thing right now lol. Free fix. I hope it holds and stays. Have you had any more problems with it ???

[@DoruMihai]

Billy Blogs not yet, still makes some weird noises sometimes but I don't expect it to fail again under normal use

[@alirahman4762]

i did that too at first. but it rolled off the track again. so i just got a tiny blob of weld welded at the last tooth by my mechanic for free and it never rolled off since.

Thank you so much for making this video you and your adorable daughter just saved us so much money! lol

[@MATSHEINSTEDT]

Good Dad moments!!! Good job.

[@harleyshellhammer9635]

Greatly appreciate that! Exactly what me and my Dad did a few decades ago as well. Thanks!

[@czmariano2495]

Salamat! Thanks for this video you helped me fixed my broken window regulator.

[@allisonzimmerman3424]

Well done! Very informative & right to the point!

[@firstleaves]

Great video! Need to replace and repair the same thing. Good work Dr Haley!!

[@jimmymolinaro7554]

Best part about this video,,,, your little helper! So cute. thanks

[@tru2dagm14]

Great video! It really helped my save some money on replacing a bad regulator and broken driver window. Everything seems to be working fine now except for the auto close. When I tap the auto open, the window goes all the way down like it should. However, when I tap the auto close, the window goes all the way up, hits the top and then comes back down leaving about 3-4 inches of gap. If I manually hold it all the way until it closes, it stays closed like it should. Any idea why that might be happening?

[@bigrobots1197]

Hey thanks for this video Harley. Helped me out big time. Everything was extremely well covered. I went ahead and subscribed to help you, for helping me. Thanks!

[@hamzatahir7121]

thanks dude! this video helped me a lot to fix my window.

[@Salvo-g7m]

Good video man.

[@harleyshellhammer9635]

I believe at the time it was about $40. You should be able to pick it up between $40-50 still.

[@rexSantaAna420]

Thank you man! Save me a lot of money.

[@alirahman4762]

over a period of time the motor ends up jumping the last tooth on the regulator due to wear. this happens when the window is rolled down and the motor drives beyond the last tooth on the gear track. Basically the last tooth wears off by micromillimeters which was supposed to stop any further rotation of the motor. And thats why the gear rolls of the track 6:57 . So instead of replacing the regulator, i just got the last tooth welded with a tiny blob of weld by my mechanic for free. and behold.. its fixed for free. lol

Great video love it 👍🏾👍🏾

I'm thinking my motor is out because when I try to lower the window the button seems like it's passing the electricity to the motor because it clicks, but the window does nothing.

[@omeletshakya]

hey man, thanks for the video...i had the same problem and fixed it with your video... I managed to get the honda dealership to print a tsb thats out for this issue...but its only covered if u are under the 3 yr/36,000 miles warranty. [TSB #SB-13-097] I had a question for you...the TSB says to replace the motor AND regulator (for both driver and passenger side regardless of there being a problem) but like you did in the video, I just replaced the regulator and its working fine...im curious how long youve been problem free since you did this repair or if it stopped working again. Thanks.

[@nahomsereke7760]

Thanks so much

[@Thatssorayvenw]

Thank you!!! So helpful

[@aidanfranits1339]

Do you know if the motors are interchangeable between doors? I want to upgrade my Civic to fully automatic windows, and I would need to have motors with position sensors on all four.

[@harleyshellhammer9635]

Aidan Franits the actual motor bolts onto the door frame of the car. I didn’t have to touch the motor but I don’t see why it would be different on the front doors. The rear doors my need a different type of lift motor since their design is different from the front door.

[@xpress021hundred]

About the same thing happened to my 2012 civic recently, but I’m not sure if the problem is due because of a bad regulator or bad motor? My power windows obviously won’t work, and the same time; I cannot hear the electric motor running. Does the electric motor still run when you press the up/down switches? I plan to open my door tomorrow up take a look see.

[@harleyshellhammer9635]

Yes, you should still be able to hear the motor. If you don't hear it, then it most likely needs to be replaced, possible along with with the regulator. Otherwise, you can take it to an Auto Parts store, and see if they can get a reading if there motor works or not. You'll have to have the motor accessible for them, but try that. I'd call first to make sure they can and will do this first.

[@jamestan4425]

how much will it cost me?

[@EpicTubeHD]

James Tan we paid approx $40+/- for the part. That’s it! Time was the real cost.

[@jamestan4425]

EpicTube HD thanks
