Has any one had to replace their Power window motor? my driver side is tempermental , on hot days it is ok but on days where the sun is not out or it is rainny it wont work , really sux at the drive threws! how hard is it to replace it my self? (the motor)

 

yea i had to replace it...... it was a BITCHHHH so i just had the dealer do it i forgot the cost though

 

Yup!

I'm on my 4th regulator/motor for my driver's side window! :thumbsdn:

 

hey at least your not on your 4th transmission

I'm on my first tranny and my first window motor regulator....just hit 75k miles dead on today

 

dustbuster4: Where you the one who lubed up the windows? What happened?

 

yah man, mine is buggin too. both windows roll up/down slowly, except the drivers side moves like a snail. when i roll up the drivers side window, it looks like its forcing itself along the rubber strip. i dont have the money to buy new regulators, but ive heard that you can use silicone, and lube it on the rubber window things.

 

so is the window regulator/motor really hard to replace yourself? I got the drivers side replaced when mine went bad and it was like $350 from the dealer!! Pissed me off!!


BTW: my passenger window is rattling sometimes when i roll it 1/2 down...i take it, thats a bad rattle? is my regulator about to go bad on the passenger side?

 

sounds like it. try look on ebay or something, for regulators.

 

ADP Estamating says that R&I (remove and install) on our regulators is 1.1hrs labour. It took me a little over that, but I was playing around with my woodgrain too.
So if your not as mechanicly inclined as an Acura tech, it shouldn't take more than 2.5-3 hours, with hand tools.

Careful taking the door panel off. Its easy to get frustrated and break stuff (security light)

 

got instructions of how to remove the door panel?

 

I spray the tracks with silicone about every 2-3 months, and this regulator has lasted quite a while.

 

does every body have the little square plastic deal with a security light on the driver side door?? mine looks like it was installed aftermarket?? and it doesnt flash?? i assume that it is supposed to ??

 

and yeah i put on the sillicon spray every now and then !! it helps a bit , i just hope that the window motor does not krap out soon, but i expect it to just stop working some day
