I bought the car on monday and it was awesome. Everything works great!

Today i shut the door and I heard a strange noise. Come to find out that my window regulator broke. Dammit! $115 for one from Acura and I cant get it till Monday. Cant roll up the window till Monday now. Ack.

Just thought Id share.

 

Welcome to the joys of owning a CL, everyone on here has replaced a reg or 2

 

i had to replace mine when i go the car. i found a replacement on ebay for $40 or something like that. wasn't too hard to install, turns out the OEM had bolts that hold it in place, this one needed nuts, ace hardware fixed that. its been a few months. its working perfect.

btw my buddy used to have a typhoon, nice ride

 

Yeah, The drivers window reg was already replaced when I bought my CL. Now I'm having other electrical issues. =/

 

thats the first thing i had to fix within a year of owning the cl and i went to the dealer for that its a common honda issue mind you, i already changed one on my prelude, 2 months later.

 

Dman I wanted to put some CLS window motor/regulators in my Accord supposedly the CLS has faster windows which after seeing the new civics I have no dobt that every newer Honda/Acura has better windows then me -_-'

 

i dunno about newer hondas. anything 90s honda/acura has shitty window regulators.

 

do it yourself for $40

 

DIY ftw

 

I would but I dont want to wait. Im impatient. My window fell down and is stuck down. I dont want to tape or 2x4 it. I priced them, eBay is cheap and will take a few days for shipping. Acura is cheaper than Autozone even for this and they deliver to me Monday morning. Ill have one of my body guys install it for me and then life will be roses again. The heavens will open and angels will sing... heh


I bought window motors on ebay for $50 a pair and did them my self on my jimmy, but i dont feel like messin with the Acura now... I need to fix my Typhoons progressive fan controller.

 

We have step by step instructions on how to do it on this forum

 

Im a manager of a bodyshop, my body guy will do it for free for me. I just want the part ASAP.
Thanks! There seems to be ALOT of helpful information here as well as lots of instructions. Thanks for your help everyone!

And none local. Grrr... Thanks.

My part will be in tomorrow AM and by lunch it will be fixed. Weee!

 

Sweet, sorry I couldn't help more. But those links will work for anyone that digs up this thread later

 

sorry to hijack your thread but quick question.. my regulators went out as well and im trying to find a replacement.. can i use ALL regulators from any 1st gen CL (2.2 or 2.3) and ALL regulators from a 94-97 accord (coupe or sedan)? i just wanted someone to clarify it for me because i dont want to waste my money buying a part that wont work for me.

 

No worries. I already have a new one installed. $114.90 and Im rollin up and down again. lol
