I just finished installing a new passenger side assembly per your instructions. Perfect! Thanks so much for taking the time to put this video together. The level of detail and camera shots were perfect. I paid $40 on eBay for the part and it took me about 90 minutes to complete the job.
So I want to THANK YOU!!! I took a substitute job, got my 1st paycheck? And now as a woman I'm about to embark upon an experience that may change things 4 the better 4 my 2 sons & I! So thank you !!! And god bless you for making this video? Hope I have much success
Thanks for the video! I went to a Honda dealership and they quoted me over $800 for parts and labor to replace the regulator. Instead, I bought a regulator off of Amazon for $60 and spent under an hour installing it.
In the middle of the video, you show how to move 2 screws from the old regulator to the new one. I once replaced a regulator and DID NOT move those screws. It made it SO much harder to position the new regulator without having those 2 screws to guide me. Thanks for showing that!
Thanks so much for the detailed instructions. I have an 01 coupe and a few years back I had my passenger replaced. I was charged near $200 at an auto glass shop. This time I'll fix my driver side myself.
I searched and searched for a institutional video to help me with this and i came up with nothing till now! thank you for your help! keep the videos coming!
Very helpful! Just bought an '00 Accord Coupe for my son and the window is coming off the track. Going to use your video to fix it myself. Take that all you overpriced dealerships!!
Good stuff man, mechanic quoted about $200 to fix. Bought regulator for $50 online, took me 2 hrs cus had problem with the damn bolt holding the glass window but got it done. Saved $150, thank you sir!
Ok so I was watching this randomly and after 20+ years working on mine and my friends vehicles not once have I thought of holding the window up out of the way with tape that alone is worth the whole video 👍thank you for that
BEST RU-vid HOW TO INSTRUCTOR!!!! You need a show! Love the fact that you forget to unhook things etc... Makes your video SOOOO much more relatable? I mean we're all having a human experience right! Don't know you Dennis!! But WHERE EVER YOU ARE!! Thanks! I'm on my way to Autozone right now! Will keep you posted on my progress! I'm a laid off math teacher in WI, no less? My children & I are living out of my Honda Civic!!! And in Jan 2013 weather? U can ONLY imagine?
Really helpful video, Dennis! My wife's driver-side regulator blew out and the shop wants $327 to fix it. I'm going to buy the part online for less than $100 and do it myself. THANK YOU! One minor quibble (and please take this in the spirit in which it's meant): sometimes in the video you'll say "take this" or "this thing" and the camera isn't close enough or pointed at what you're referring to. You might consider instead saying "take this "clip" or put "this wire". Just being more specific about each part can help overall comprehension for those of us who are intimidated about working on our cars. Regardless, if you lived close by I'd gladly buy you a beer for this one! You really saved us some dough.
Thanks for the video! That was clear and extremely helpful. I can't believe how well done that video was considering this was your first video! Please make more! THANK YOU!
Great Video. I've watched half a dozen. This is the best by far! Part that helped the most is trying to remember how to hook the regulator back into the door. That thing is so flexible--bolts could go almost anywhere. Thanks for taking the time.
I watched several videos. This door was exactly like mine. Getting it out was a trick, the motor had broken off of the regulator and the coil had come off as well. When I unplugged the motor it fell to the bottom of the door. No big deal, but it was a different scenario while getting the window unscrewed from the bar.
Really helpful for us coupe owners; it's quite a bit different from the 4-door. You might change your title to mention it's a 2-door coupe, which would be more helpful than the fact that it's an EX. Thanks!
Dennis, Good job. Ordered one from Amazon ($47.00) followed your instructions and had it installed in 1/2 hour. Works well. Thanks for the instructions.
thanks for the video Dennis! I have replaced a few motor/regulator assemblies in the past, but haven't on a Honda Accord. Found your video and watched in case there were any qwerks. great video!
Thanks a lot Dennis,,did my window TODAY,took a bit longer,because I only buy the regulator ,so it took me a bit longer,but everything was just as you said in your video,,thanks appreciate the info,one LOVE
Thanks, man, for putting this up and you time and effort. My sister has *this car* and your good work helped me jump right in and save her a few bucks. Big thanks!!
Thank you so much for the help! My driver's side recently stopped going up all the way so I'm going to replace both sides myself. Bought the part for both windows for only $80 plus tax on amazon.
Awesome job on the video Dennis. I just finished installing it and everything turned out great. All thanks to your video. Thanks again. Have a great day.
Hello! I know you posted this video 3 years ago, and I'm really hoping you still catch the thread on this. I have an 04' coupe, and both my passenger and driver side window motors are burned out. My mechanic wants 900 to fix them and I dont have that kind of money, so I gotta do it myself, lol. My question is, is this process still doable with my windows stuck rolled up? If not, am I able to move my windows down for the purpose of accessing some of those bolts? It looks like a fairly simple process I think I can handle, although I will make sure I have somebody watching those windows despite the amount of tape I intend to use :D Great video, I understood 99% of the process, great job! If you have the time to respond, I thank you!
try this, undo all the bolts that r shown in the video , and hopefully the window will drop so you can take the moter out, nothing to lose. let me know what happens
@@meganlockard3806 Too be honest with you, I thought my car needed a new motor and regulator. Turns out that I wasn't case. My window came off from the regulator arms. All I was put them back together, and wa-la! I'm going to get my refund after returning their items tomorrow morning.
Recommend not to use basis painters tape. It is NOT used for that and the glass can fall into the door and chip or break. One can even use better tape. When I replaced the unit assembly on my Honda Accord, I used wooden door shims without any issues. The job went pretty quick with the proper tools and supplies.
Instead of taking the speaker out you could’ve just pulled the moisture barrier down more on the right side then there’s a big hole if you drop something you can get your hand in there
not sure, don't know if this will work. but take your moter off and try to open the regulator and put the motor back on, don't know if this will work , just a thought, also , try a junk yard, you should be able to pick one up for cheap. hope this helps, good luck
Thank you for your great details videoThank you for your great details videoThank you for your great details videoThank you for your great details video
Excellent video! Mine worked fine. Just a tip: secure the light, because it can get snagged inside with the regulator. I had a minor problem on snapping and sliding the door handle in. Any tip anyone can give me on that. Thanks
I have one problem with this video. You said you couldn't fuck it up once you lined the bolts up. Well I fucked it up for 2 hours so it's definitely possible to fuck it up. My problem was in the pieces that slide, they came locked in place on the ends and I didnt realize that you can dislodge them which you have to do to get them to line up. Other than that great video!!!
great video thank a lot I just want to ask you I got new motor and regulator the glass only going up no down two swicthes is good from the main swicth and the one from passenger door please tell me what's wrong?
Hello Dennis. I loved the video, worked like a charm. But when I put everything back together, the inside door handle will not open the door, and the power locks on the passenger side no longer move the pin up or down (however, the driver's side is locked/unlocked with the passenger side switch, so it works.) I have the metal rod hooked into the plastic piece on the door handle, and when you move the door handle it pulls the rod, but will not open the door. I am at a loss sir, any help would be appreciated.
it's a little hard for me to diagnose because I'm not there however can you open the door from the outside when the door shut, if so, what you need to do is take the door panel off and follow the rod from beginning to end and make sure that no pieces broke or for some reason the rod came out of the other side. try that
as for your door lock I want you to try and make sure that the wiring harness is in tight pull it out and push it back in also with the door panel off and the wires connected see if you can lock or unlock. what you do is lean the door panel against the door with the wires connected and see if the power lock Works in it just might be tied up. this will be a long shot but see if there's a separate fuse for the passenger side power lock door I doubt it but check anyways. when you try to lock and unlock the door does it make any noise
Did does open with the outside door handle and it also makes noise when trying to do the power locks from either the driver side or the passenger side you just don't get any results
Daniel Meadows wish I was there to help you out, there's something tying it up I wish I was there so I could check it out, for some reason there's got to be a a way to trace it. if it's making noise for the power locks then you know it's getting power. as for the door it should open what I would do is trying to pull on the rod with your hand and see why it's not opening. so try tracing it down with the door panel off. it's got to be something simple let me know what you find out
