Honda Window Regulator Removal Guide: 1997-2002 Accord Model Years 

I did the conductor side on a Honda Accord 2000 following your video, thank you you saved me $200 or more maybe. Congrats!

Great video showing how to access and replace the regulator. However, based on my experience, you ALSO HAVE TO FIX THE ROOT CAUSE of the problem that caused the regulator to fail. If not, the new regulator may prematurely fail after one year... My 97 Civic is over 23 years old. In my case, I additionally had to PARTIALLY REMOVE the rubber window "run channel" (I only removed the left and right "sides" of the channel), CLEAN THE CHANNELS of accumulated dirt (I used cotton swabs soaked in "Goo Gone" but I guess soapy water would work as well). In addition, it was easy to completely REMOVE THE WINDOW from the door. Once removed, it was important to thoroughly CLEAN THE FRONT AND BACK EDGES of the window. Finally, I read that the "run channel" should be LUBRICATED WITH SILICONE GREASE. In particular, I read that Honda's Shin-Etsu Silicone Grease, part @-9013 should be used to lubricate the channels. My local Honda dealer price-matched another dealer's price; I paid $18.15 for one tube. Since I had gone through two regulators, each lasting only about one year, I GENEROUSLY GREASED the channel AND both sides of the window's left and right edges BEFORE REINSTALLING THE WINDOW. After re-assembly, the window moved up and down without any hesitancy. In comparison, the other windows moved much slower - so, I will do preventive maintenance for the other windows by removing the windows, and thoroughly cleaning the window edges AND run channel. Cleaning removes the accumulated dirt, which allows the window to move freely, and reduces the load on the window regulator motor and assembly. Hopefully, reducing the load on the regulator will prevent the regulator from failing again.

Eric you are the best for sure! You are my go to guy for unknowns and I am a total gearhead

Excellent video. Nice battery hack. Thank you for posting.

Very nice!!!

I have a 2001 Honda Accord EX.. I took half the passenger door apart, before I realized the child lock was on, on the window lol.. good to know no money was needed for this fix

Eric, awesome as always thanks!

Thanks for your help I appreciate

Thanks for the battery tip.

Thanks, your video helped a great deal.

Butterflies and stars make everything better

Thanks Eric!! But, I have a 1996 LX coupe 2.2. L two door do this work the same way.

Eric saves me from sever turrets issues, when I work on my cars and I run into dumb @$##@.

ummm, how do I say this nicely. One of the main reasons people will want to remove the window regulator is because the window motor is kaput. So rigging that motor to external power from whatever source doesn't, ummm, really help.

Thanks can you do a 92 Accord 2 door

Hey I have a ? How do you take the power window motor off the window regulator

Or you can remove the door speaker and gain access to those bolts if the window on your vehicle is already stuck down

Looks like he got a used aftermarket Regulator..! LOL No nylon in bolt holes where attaching to window. Factory regulator has nylon inserts. New cheap ones like it online $49-$50 new...! Just order one.. saves time and its new.!

hmm.. cool. Ericthecarguy

I dont get why would a motor work to align bolts to replace a motor?

WRONG SIDE

How in the hell do you make a video and have a special battery contraption part of how you make the repair? Such a waste of time. Nobody fixed anything from watching this video. Poor idea.
