Thanks Eric! 11 years later and this video is still helping people out. This is pretty darn close to a 2013 Honda CR-V window run channel (driver door). The trim is obviously different, but the key points are the same, create access to the two window mount bolts so you can pull the window out and replace the run channel.
@EricTheCarGuy Fails are one of the best ways to learn, especially with those plastic clips that break before you understand how they work. I love the way you show corrections in real time.
@paradien Great to hear I'm happy to help. I don't recommend lubing the regulator or it might be better to say I think it's a waste of time as what mostly goes bad is the cable snaps whether you lubricate it or not. Thanks for the comment.
Just like to say that your videos are enjoyable to watch. I recently discovered your channel about a month ago and got hooked ever since, watching your videos helped me understand the inner workings of a car and gives me the confidence to fix basic things myself in the future, plus the fact that you're are cool guy and explain things very clearly. Well anyways keep up the good work!
Eric, thanks for your great video on window run replacement. I'm not a mechanic but just a weekend warrior. Everything went very smoothly because of your instructions and great tips to make it easier. This saved me a lot of money doing it myself.
I have a 96 Honda Accord. This is the best video that explains everything. I've never seen someone that's that good at guiding man. Props. Subscribed and liked.
Eric, I'm still using that paper-in-the-socket trick more than decade later and it still fascinates the crap out of people. Thanks for the demo on the glass run Cuz.
Fixed my 98 Civic using your method! Driver's side window had come out of the window run, and the passenger side was very slow to open/close. I thought it was the regulator/motor. Not cheap to fix at the dealership (did that once a few years ago). Bought some of the silicone paste you mention, took the windows out, cleaned the window runs(luckily did not have to remove them) and applied the silicone paste. I wish I would have taken a video of the difference. It's like they are brand new!
My 2007 Accord driver window channel developed a small rip near the top, and caused window to not close. So, thanks to this video I was able to replace it myself. It took a little massaging but was able to get it. Thanks ETCG!
Eric, I have to thank you for the video on replacing a window run channel on my old Honda Civic. It was my first shot at messing with anything like that. The silicon paste was a must!
Thank you so much Eric. We have a 2002 Civic Si and I finally bit the bullet and purchased new channel runs for both R and L windows. You saved me a lot of frustration by making this video. Many Thanks!
@ibondwithmydog I work on plenty of American stuff and more every day including Jeeps but for the most part I will admit that I'm a Honda expert so that is what shows up the most. Thanks for the comment.
eric, you are the zen master of honda repair. Stuff like all the little tips on how not to break all the parts on the door is what sets you apart from the rest. I would love to see more simple body repair videos like this in the future.
Many thanks Eric,I am doing this job on my Rover 620 this weekend ,it looks about the same as the Honda, Watching your video really has given me confidence to do this myself,great tips ,silicone etc and that tip with the bit of paper ,but mainly to see the job done and what needs to achieved ,thanks Eric,
WOW!!! First of all i didnt have any idea what a run channel was. second of all i decided to watch it for fun. third of all u SUGGESTED SILICONE. and u just made me a hero today! A problem i had with my car since i first bought it: Passenger window wouldnt go up all the way unless i physically push it up while i push the button. PITA. well anyway i just picked up some silicon spray from walmart- $2.50 ...and BAM! worked. went up 4 times and it never went up on its own! THANKS A MILLION!
does anyone (or you Eric) know if this is the same process for a 96 civic? I got a new regulator in my door and noticed my window seal needs replacing. Thanks, awesome video btw simple and to the point.
Thanks for this! I have a 88 civic with bad window gasket and didn't want to drop the money to fix it. Great tutorial and super helpful tips! You're awesome!
Your video saved me $186 by doing this work myself (and ordering the part from an online store that sold the OEM part). Thanks a TON my friend! You rock!
@@samuelrodriguez247 Sorry I can't remember the part number, but I picked it up from eBay for sure as new. I've sense had to get rid of that car (was a great car).
@EricTheCarGuy you know Eric im not sure i would have to guide the window up with my hand to roll it up, it started with a slow up and down movement with a squeak, window became so slow i went to the junk yard and got a new window and bought a brand new regulator. window still wanted to come out of the groove when i rolled it up. Never even new to check the weather stripping like u did in this video. I just want to tell u how much i look forward and enjoy your videos, thanks for the reply.
I wish my 96 Accord Coupe windows were that fast. But definitely going to buy some of those silicone paste and give it a go! Learned something new today, thanks Eric!
I've pulled the front two panels numerous times.. I never thought about pulling the window control panel. I always fumbled with the panel and disconnected the plugs with one hand. Lol.. Thanks for making these videos.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO For years Ive been trying different methods to fix my dry run channels,grease,sprays,dry lubricants, nothing work. The glass would jump off track often and at the wrong time and places!. SO went out to the local napa and bought a can of 3m silicone paste , applied it and my windows run like a charm. Seriously thanks. Also Id like to add, to any one doing this , that now would be the time to lube up the regulator.
Great video...my 03 mits spyder conv driver side window was off a lil,but enough to seep in that flooded my floor.messing up the factory amp under the pass side seat.i readjusted the window & got a new amp,ready to go now.thanks a lot,your the man...
Im getting ready to do the same for both my windows on my 98 honda civic ... great detail work and explanation ... hope it goes as smooth as yours did ...
30 minutes of my life that was fun and informative. Excellent video! Now for a short rant... On Renaults they don't bother with a vapour shield. No Sir! They wrap up the connectors for the windows in foam. Also the regulators. So, when it rains, the regulator or switching gets drenched and corroded. This is bad. Because the whole shebang is CAN Bus controlled (why!?), the computer throws a fit and drops the window. It sits in the one position you can't unclip it. And you get pissed on fixing it.
Getting ready to do this on a friend's '98 accord today. Part came in, so thanks for the instructional. I already replaced regulator. It got burned up because of the rubber track guide.
Thanks Eric great tip on using silicone on the window track. Both of my windows would not go down more than a few inches on both driver side and passender side. Went out this moring while it was still cool out and lubed both tracks and low and behold after a few up and downs of the windows they started working again. Thanks for the tip.
@Michiganborn1969 Believe it or not when it rains it leaks inside the door where the window meets, there are drain holes in the bottom of the door to allow the water to escape, the barrier is there to keep the moister out of the passenger compartment.
@3000MilesOfPavement Yea that was pretty common actually, they have a 2 piece design and the bottom piece would often end up in the bottom of the door. The silicone paste in the run channel does wonders for that problem, I've never glued one back in though because I didn't have to, the silicone was all that I needed.
paper in the socket: BRILLIANT!!! I LOVE THIS GUY!!! (no homo) but this guy is the man!! Before i discovered Eric's vids i used to watch scotty kilmer (i still do too). but eric is so much more thorough, much more tips. u can learn more off this guy than a $20,000/yr course at lincoln tech!
Another great video, Eric. Say, how do you know it's the window channel stripping, rather than the weatherstipping around the door causing excess noise?
@jsc195 For this job it's everything, if you try and use the spray to lubricate the tracks it will dry up and cause the window to shudder during operation. The spray has a 'working time' before it's not effective anymore, the paste lasts a lot longer.
A couple of suggestions. Use a good vinyl/rubber protectant and spray/wipe down the new rubber before you put it in, then apply your silicone paste. Makes it last longer and the protectant will also help the window slide easier. A heat gun or blow dryer is very helpful to soften the adhesive (be careful a heat gun can melt the plastic). BTW, the barrier is there for sound deadening/wind noise reduction as well as keeping moisture from contacting the door panel. Thanks for the vid.
Thank you very much for this incredibly informative video. I was actually looking for videos related to an overheating issue with my 97 accord that may or may not be completely solved (radiator fan motor was bad but there may be another issue) and found this in the process. I now know, thanks to this video, that my window problem is exactly what you covered here and now I feel comfortable enough to tackle it myself. Thanks man.
Great video. Will definitely go out and added some silicon paste to the channel. I would hoping your video would assist with how to prevent my driver and passenger doors would stop freezing in the winter. Could it be that the channel needs replacement or another culprit. Thanks.
@tymebomb60 This circuit is dead with the key off but even if you had it on it would not harm anything at least in my experience. You are correct that with some electrical work you want to disconnect the battery before you start the work.
Eric! Informative video. I have to perform the same task. When my window is three quarters closed, during hot days, I get a squealing sound. The cause? There isn't any felt on the upper portion of the rubber channel stripping. Naturally, from the heat, the stripping expands. Luckily, I had did't have to shell out the 75.00 that Honda was charging. I found it on ebay. I own a 1999 Honda Accord EX V6, 4 Door Sedan. I have a belt molding (Chrome platted strip with rubber that rests against the glass window) that needs to be replaced for the drivers side back window. I purchased a new one from my local Honda Dealer. I am not exactly sure how to remove the old one. I saw in your video, the Accord you worked on has the same belt molding. There are five blue clips, with fifth (yellow) clip being on the end. These clips fit into the opening right below the door frame, below the window. My auto body guy says that the strip can be slid out. I debate that fact. So basically, I am getting a second opinion. :-)
That was a great video. Have a 96 EX sedan and the window has been driving me nuts. Replaced the regulator and switch. Still sucks. Can't wait to try this. How much was the new channel from Honda?
Excellent Video! You really covered all the bases. You said you got the run channel direct from Honda... Do you remember about how much they were? I'm looking to replace all of mine.
Eric, thank you so much! I've been followin your videos over the years and it's always helped me loads. Like the fact that you're into Hondas too. Much love all the way from Germany
Thanks for another great video. I like the whole first person kinda view. I wish they'd made an SE version of this generation Accord. That would have been sexy.
@hobieslug45 You can find it on line fairly cheep and you can use it for more than just window runs, you can also use it for lubricating caliper slides.
@avsdavidt1 The regulator and motor are all one piece and there really isn't much else to go wrong as far as the moving parts go, switches sometimes but mostly regulators from what I've seen. Many manufacturers use this cable type of design these days and they often break as a result.
@jpshomevideos I really don't see too many diesels here in the US, I hope to cover them in the future though because I've had a lot of requests, I could stand to learn a thing or 2 about them myself so I think that would be fun.
@avsdavidt1 I think you should inspect the window run to make sure it's not bound up or the window is not inserted in it properly, if the above are good then lube with silicone PASTE and recheck.
this is awesome. ive been dreading fixing my slow passenger window in my old 4runner. i bet if i just lube it down and clean it, it will be runnin like a champ.
loved the vid wish someone had told me about the spray n lube i just used the spray n it worked but just not as easy as u made it seem keep em comin man
On felt window tracks like my 2000 Taurus has, what kind of lubricant do you suggest using on them? Dry silicone? Great video BTW! Now I know what to do on my sister's Accord...and no rivets to deal with like on my car.
Would this also be a potential cause moisture leaking into the car? I have a problem in my hyundai accent where frost forms on the inside of the windshield and I'm having trouble isolating the issue. Edit: Last year I had to replace the exterior door handle, and in the process I did end up damaging the vapour barrier. Watching this just reminded me of that. I'm going to make an assumption here that piece of plastic covering the inside of the door is prevent moisture from entering the vehicle?
@Ryandavis33 Spray won't work, you need to use the paste, you could just lube the parts you can get to and see if that helps but it would be better to get the lubrication all the way down.
Thanks for being quick and to the point. Are window Run Channels pretty specific to every car model/make? or are they sold as universal or general styles?
@MileyCyrus192 You do it just the way I show in this video but you take the motor/regulator loose from the door panel and move it till you can get to the fasteners, if that doesn't work cut the cable and you can put the window wherever you want.
Do you have any other words to describe silicon paste? I cannot find it on ebay. Great video. Only addition I can make is to ensure the vapor sheet is still sealed across the bottom, some cars will leak unless this is perfect!.
@spelunkerd Visual inspection, it was pretty obvious on this one as it is with others that I've repaired with the same problem. You can sometimes use tape to seal off suspected areas as well.
Eric, You´re awesome! Your tips even worked on my BMW 320i (E36, built1994) ! Where can I give more than one thumb up? Thanks a lot and I promise to keep on watching Your vid´s!!
nice video been curious about this, liked your tip on power screwdrivers makes it a lot easier to take off interior trim Maybe you could do a video on weird bolt heads torx e-torx etc.
hey eric great video, was wondering this for some time now, how come you never seem to fix or service diesel cars???? is there not many diesels in america??
Thanks Eric! 11 years later and this video is still helping people out. This is pretty darn close to a 2013 Honda CR-V window run channel (driver door).

It's amazing how these videos still provide helpful reference. Reason being I just bought a Honda Accord of that year. Thanks YT and Eric
Thanks a lot Eric, even a decade later this literally saved my life as i have finally fixed the window issues.
@paradien Great to hear I'm happy to help. I don't recommend lubing the regulator or it might be better to say I think it's a waste of time as what mostly goes bad is the cable snaps whether you lubricate it or not. Thanks for the comment.

@joisais Your most welcome, I'm happy to help. Thanks for your comment.
Thanks man, this helped me fix my window that kept running outside the run channel. (Just like at 26:08)

@fooey88 Yep, seen that quite a bit myself, I guess I was thinkn of ya when I made the video. Thanks for the comment.
@gearheadAbe You could also flip the ON/OFF switch but good suggestion.
Another great video, Eric. Say, how do you know it's the window channel stripping, rather than the weatherstipping around the door causing excess noise?

Pretty sure you just saved me a ton of time and trouble! Nice tip with the paper in the socket trick too!
@TheDennyvu I looked that up and it's petroleum based not silicone based and as a result will degrade the rubber which is also petroleum based.
A couple of suggestions. Use a good vinyl/rubber protectant and spray/wipe down the new rubber before you put it in, then apply your silicone paste. Makes it last longer and the protectant will also help the window slide easier. A heat gun or blow dryer is very helpful to soften the adhesive (be careful a heat gun can melt the plastic).

My 91 Accord and 93 Acura Legend Have the same issues special in the summer time when the heat i guess cause the rubber to shrink. great vid..

@paxilill I could not agree with you more, thanks for the comment.
Hi great video just wanted to know to replace the rear glass door run rubber is the same process? To remove the glass. Thanks
Thanks for another great video. I like the whole first person kinda view.
I wish they'd made an SE version of this generation Accord. That would have been sexy.
@Bret3030 Was it the regulator/motor assembly? Very common problem on this car and others with a cable operated window motor.
@diulaylomochohai Thanks man, glad you liked it.
I know this an old video but it gives me a good direction on how to repair my vehicle. Thanks
Very good and helpful. Good tips.
I like magnetic tips for holding screws but I have resorted to using tape and even gum to hold fasteners. Thanks..
@hobieslug45 You can find it on line fairly cheep and you can use it for more than just window runs, you can also use it for lubricating caliper slides.
@avsdavidt1 The regulator and motor are all one piece and there really isn't much else to go wrong as far as the moving parts go, switches sometimes but mostly regulators from what I've seen. Many manufacturers use this cable type of design these days and they often break as a result.
This is the ONLY video of this that I could find. Thanks!
@jpshomevideos I really don't see too many diesels here in the US, I hope to cover them in the future though because I've had a lot of requests, I could stand to learn a thing or 2 about them myself so I think that would be fun.
@netman88 Not really, it's just one more step really. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks! I bet this is the issue with the sticky window. Great instruction.
@BizarrEftersmak On this car yes, on others not so much sometimes. Thanks for the comment.
@avsdavidt1 I think you should inspect the window run to make sure it's not bound up or the window is not inserted in it properly, if the above are good then lube with silicone PASTE and recheck.
this is awesome. ive been dreading fixing my slow passenger window in my old 4runner. i bet if i just lube it down and clean it, it will be runnin like a champ.
loved the vid wish someone had told me about the spray n lube i just used the spray n it worked but just not as easy as u made it seem keep em comin man
@foxdmulder That works too, thanks for the suggestion and comment.
Used this as reference for my EM1 and worked out great. Thanks.

@lakayyak If it's silicone based yes, if it's petroleum based I don't recommend it, if not you can find silicone paste online, just google it.
@Ryandavis33 Spray won't work, you need to use the paste, you could just lube the parts you can get to and see if that helps but it would be better to get the lubrication all the way down.
Thanks for the best video on how to do this seal replacement
You are a very good teacher. Thank you for esplaining everything. Yes, the type o was on purpuss. And that one too. : P
Hey Eric
One other great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Can I use the same technique on Isuzu rodeo 2002 model
Good vid. How much should something like this cost to fix? I think this is my 2014 Accords current problem.
Thanks for being quick and to the point. Are window Run Channels pretty specific to every car model/make? or are they sold as universal or general styles?
18.08 that's what she said!! Love the vid. I am now confident to do this on my f150
Another good video. Laughed at the ETCG Fail. Made me think, you should do a vidoe of fails and outtakes. Thanks.
@MileyCyrus192 You do it just the way I show in this video but you take the motor/regulator loose from the door panel and move it till you can get to the fasteners, if that doesn't work cut the cable and you can put the window wherever you want.
So many oppertunities for "that's what she said" jokes. Haha! I have a 95 Accord and need to do this. Thanks for the DIY video, Eric.
@hateercenor That sounds like a plan, thanks for the comment.
Do you have any other words to describe silicon paste? I cannot find it on ebay.
Great video. Only addition I can make is to ensure the vapor sheet is still sealed across the bottom, some cars will leak unless this is perfect!.
@spelunkerd Visual inspection, it was pretty obvious on this one as it is with others that I've repaired with the same problem. You can sometimes use tape to seal off suspected areas as well.
Eric, You´re awesome! Your tips even worked on my BMW 320i (E36, built1994) ! Where can I give more than one thumb up? Thanks a lot and I promise to keep on watching Your vid´s!!
@jeepers2655 Spray will not work on the window side, you need the paste. Good luck.
nice video been curious about this, liked your tip on power screwdrivers makes it a lot easier to take off interior trim
Maybe you could do a video on weird bolt heads torx e-torx etc.
hey eric great video, was wondering this for some time now, how come you never seem to fix or service diesel cars???? is there not many diesels in america??
