Hello Guys!
The other day I rolled my back window down I heard a crack
Sounded like there was a rock inside but it wasnt.
So i managed to roll it back up.
Today I tried to roll it down now it stuck half way.
Do I need a new window motor ?
Thanks

probably the regulator broke.its a common problem. Ibelieve they sell the motor regulator as a unit.


well first things first make sure all your fuses are in order etc.

Good idea..I am suspecting its a regulator too cuz it was grounding inside,it doesnt sound good
It suppose to rain 2nite 2 I am covering it with a trash bag till tomorrow .

Do you use your back window alot? If you don't, you can open up the door cover and zip tip the window and save a few bucks. Or you can buy the regulator motor from ebay, but it's noisy compare to OEM.

My back pass window goes down about 4 inches then makes a loud buzzing sound. I suspect it's the regulator but I don't use it enough to warrant fixing it just yet. I'll prob get it fixed once summer rolls around though.

@3.5RL lol i did the same thing with a zip tie. Window regulator is not a hard fix and you can get OEM ones from ebay or a junk yard for a pretty decent price

Just repaired the back pass window regulator.
Bought a brand new non OEM part on ebay for $133 S&H and taxes included.
Acura wanted $354 ..
My Mechanic fixed for $25 ..Done
