Sounds like the weather stripping is hanging it up, whenever the window drags it purposely goes down. Try greasing the channel with some Shin-etsu grease.

Those links are locked by Honda and have been for the past year.

OP, this is what you want. The Honda PN is shown on the box:



You can order it from our acura vendor prestige or these sites:

handa-accessories.com
acuraoemparts.com

I followed the instructions and it still wont open. After logging in with the 2010 tl info, none of the links on the mian page work either.

You're doing something wrong then. They didn't work for me also until I followed the instructions in the red text. Open the Azine TSB page in one tab of your browser, login to the Honda/Acura site in the directions in another tab and then try. That's what I did.

If all else fails, I'll copy and paste the instructions from the PDF for you.

Does it go back down in manual mode, or just in auto?

Necromancer here


After getting my busted window replaced I now have this issue.

At first, it wouldn't roll back up at all; it went up a few inches then automatically back down again. After looking at it I saw the weather stripping at the bottom was getting caught/sucked under because there was an extra 1/2 inch on the end. I cut that extra part off and now it will roll up but only manually.. and it still goes noticeable slower than before or than the other windows. The auto roll still doesn't work even after doing the manual reset. I think the channel looks fine, still think the grease would help it or could it be the regulator in this case?

I'm thinking of just taking it back to the place that 'fixed' it.

I'd take it back, but try the lube...lube always helps.

Seriously, my windows would kick back down all the time...take some shin etsu (or white lithium if you're in a pinch) and put a dab on your pinkie and rub it in the whole back end of the channel, wipe off the excess, go up and down a few tires to it coats back edge of glass...

If you had "excess" though, something probably wasn't put back in correctly.

Follow Ron's Instructions and open the TSB.. or else he'll banish you to the 3G TL Racing section Ian.

I DID! I took it in and they said it's the window regulator so they will order a new one and get it installed.

Edit. It needed to be reset. Even though I reset it correctly 8 times last night . But the regulator also needs to be replaced so they are going to do that too. k

Yep, if your regulator was bad your window wouldn't go up or down. Trust me, I've already replaced two of mine.

But they have the okay from Acura to replace, so they get to charge 2 hours labor! Sure, why not.

Glad you got it figured out, E An. Honestly, this car has about the most finicky electronic system ever...

Wellllllllllllll, the window does work now on manual and auto roll, but it still rolls up at a noticeably slower speed than the driver's side window..

The channel has been greased. WHAT NAO!? Thought so


I remember garthumpy had this problem a few years ago.. his regulator speed going down was 12.xx and going up was like 3.xx. So. I am just saying.

It's probably due to that piece of seal you cut off, causing it to bind.
