Replacing window

Hey guys I wanted to see if anyone has instructions how to replace the driver/passenger side window. I have 35% tint on the window and my friend with a tsx also has 20% so I wanted to see if I would swap the window. Thanks!

the HELMS service manual will have all the information you need to do this.
you should own one if you plan on doing any work on your car whatsoever.

you should also own the Electronic Troubleshooting Manual.

they are invaluable.

If you've taken off the door panel before, it's pretty easy to take out the window. The window is only held in by 2 bolts at the bottom-middle position and balanced via the 2 window guides on each side.

Once you have the door panel off, reconnect the window buttons and lower the window until the bottom support bolts (#17 in the picture below) are in view. Loosen the bolts and then lower the window a bit more so that you have enough room to remove the window. Then totally unscrew the bolts, and remove the window by rotating the glass counter-clockwise (according the picture below). Rotate accordingly depending on which side you're working on.



There may or may not be minor steps I'm missing, but I'm sure you can figure it out once you have everything open.
