my fawkin wiindow motor....

blew the fawk out last night!!! I am so pissed... The windows had been slow going up and down for some time now but yesterday was the straw that broke the camels back... I roll my shit down and half way I heard grinding noises... The window stopped in place and the motor still worked... I removed the panel and all was good inside... The cable tugged alil when playing with the switch up and down... So I try and pull the window closed and it wouldnt go up the full way... so I push the switch to move the gears and then I had full access to push or pull my window....


Fawk me!!!! Just when I had the money for Ross (rmstoico) to work my car to balls (alil secret modification).... oh well,, sertting and appointment with Acura today.. hope its not too expensive!!!

I had my driver side replaced 1 month before the warranty ran out. 6 mos later the passenger side window just dropped as i drove. i wasn't even trying to use it and rarely ever did. I got it fixed by "customer relations" coverage, even though it was out of warranty

Save your $125 and do the installation yourself. It's really not that hard.

well... the car is dropped off... and I will pay them to do what they have to do... atleast if it fawks up again, its their responsibliti... who knows.. it may have been something else(most likely not)...

My dealership service area is the best... the guy knows me and my bro (SlyTLS) pretty well, he said since I was having them do it as always, that he will detail my car when its done at NO charge!!!
