Ok ive read a lot of threads with the window regulator and it seems like everyone just replaces them..
I took apart the door and took out the window regulator and the cord broke through this plastic piece... but it only had jus broke through when someone rolled the window down and up...
i got the cord back through and all the way around and i plugged the electric cord back in n the bracket in the middle goes up and down now so its obviously working....
MY ONLY PROBLEM IS the plastoc piece on the opposite end of the little pulley wheel wont go lock back in place...
I got the cord pulled all the way around im jus struggling trying to pull it up n fit into its little slot n lock in...

So wat im tryin to get at is... is there an easier way to pull it up n lock it in a certain tool or something...
or am i just gonna have to buy a new regulator with the cord and everything already intact...
Any help would be tha best im sittin in the garage tryin to do it now... lol... thanxxxxx

if something comes loose like that- it usually means a plastic piece has broken
It may not appear broken to you- but you didnt see what it looked like before!
here is the complete repair manual download- free-

in there will be window reg info and diagrams

Glass installers replacing regulator assemblies have 2 big suction cups with a cable between them-one cup on each side of glass, while cable goes over top of door, it securely holds the window up or partialy up as needed

You can also look at acura parts diagram online and see if everything matches
or where are the broken latches
ahh, a poet and didnt know it!

well i know the plastic piece is broken cuz when the window was going up the cord slipped out the whole track but i can get it to stay and move up and down.... I just want my window up so i want to for now just repair the regulator until i buy the new part so at least my window is up but ive been like cutting my hands tryin to stretch the cord from one end to the other to stay... its pissin me off I have to drive to orlando 2morrow and its been raining everyday i need that window up n i am NOT driving around with no tape or trash bag looool....

its not going to stay up without a pice of 2x4 at this point

Broken plastic ends- slipped cord,,,and you think you're going to slide it all back together?
not going to happen
Try the auto recycler yards for a used assembly
