I just purchased a 2004 Acura TL about 3 months ago! I absolutely LOVE this car, had a VW Jetta before.. There is nothing wrong with the car at all except the driver side door window goes down no problem, but when I try to bring it up, it will get stuck and go back down or get stuck and I have to use my hand against the window with the control to move it back up. Is this the motor having issues? I have no idea? Any info would be great! I'm a newbie!

 

There is a TSB on this. Your car needs a new window regulator.

 

That's news to me. You got a link to the TSB?


To the OP, do a search for "window regulator" (use the quotes in the search). There is a reset procedure listed in one of those threads that might work. Otherwise, most likely it's bad regulator. Unless you have an extended warranty, the cost will be on you.

 

Never mind, here's the TSB:

Your car is out of warranty, but if it was certified they should still perform the TSB for you. Otherwise, firmly negotiate a "good will" deal with your service manager, especially if you bought it from an Acura dealer.

 

First try cleaning, then lubing the window channels/tracks with a silicone lubricant before starting to replace parts. There was a TSB that recommended cleaning and lubing the window channel/tracks first to see if that resolved the window issue.
