Well, I thought the 98 3.0 CL was beyond the window regulator problem. So I am on this bumpy road in the rain going to a party when I hit a pothole. Creek, snap and my window fell about half way. Go figure. I wedged her shut and the repair was not too bad.

$136.00 brand new dealer item.
$ 45.00 labor
$ 25.00 transmission service. (gotta stay out of the 3rd trans club)

So, it is all about who you know. The stealership wanted $150.00 for the labor. Screw them and the hole they crawled out of.

All is well now.

 

 

yeah, I need a new one too, but Im just goin to get a accord motor (same part) and my buddy is in the glass buisness so he said hed just do it for me

 

only thing is i dont think the accord motor wont have auto-down

 

If it's on the passenger side it wouldn't matter since there is no auto down.

 

the infamous shitty window regulator.

my driver side one is fucked i hope it doesnt take a shit.

 

and that evil little bastard always waits till it's raining.

 

Ouch man, sucks. Been there, done that.

 

The loss of auto-down is a myth. The Accord part is the exact same part. Honda charges the same as Acura for this one brand-new. The stealership has us by the balls. If you buy a used one, you might be jacked and if you buy after-market, good luck. This one lasted eight years. Not bad.

 

im on my fourth regulator on my passenger side its dead now waiting to be fixed

 

is it possible to put auto down on the passanger side?

 

i have no idea...im sure if you can rig it up its doooooable

 

yeah, I did it for my lex. just needed the switch and sensor.
shouldn't be any diff. for passenger side..
actually, I think there are honda/acuras with both sides auto.
My old 96 camry had autos on both sides....strange the IS didnt

Take the door panel off and you'll see all that you'll need

 

Same here.

 

WHAT? You paid for it to be done? It's so easy ( i just replaced my 3rd )

 

yup those regulators are crap...replaced mine 2 years ago on the drivers side and its acting up again....i wil definitely do it myself this time, labor charges suck.

 

regulators are crap...my passenger is on its way out.

junkyards best friend if u want it cheap

 

i lost auto-down

 

mine just died a few weeks ago. replaced it myself this past weekend. #2 for my drivers side

 

I wouldn;t say the whole "getting a honda regulator and losing your auto-down" is a myth, it happened to me. It might happen to anyone who gets a new regulator but it happened to me, I'm not losing sleep over it tho..

 

I know it is easy to do, but man I like my interior tight and right. I broke the plastic tabs on some parts in my Integra and it never was right after that. Screw it, if they break it, they pay for it. If I break it, well... It's on me. I'll pay the labor. It was cheap and they did it without breaking my interior.

peace

 

WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT.

These windows SUCK ASS!

Hopefully your tranny doesnt go out.

 

Wait.......
What is the $25.00 tranny service your talking about??

I didnt think ANY trany anything cost less than $100.00. (flush).
