The issue might be with the regulator getting snagged and binding up. Best bet would be to open up the door panel and take a peak inside to see what the issue is.
Great instructions and easy to follow. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It was a great help.
Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out!

I’m 50 years old, a woman. You taught this so well that fixings it felt like a walk through the park. Thank you!!!
Ok I have 3 windows that won't budge and my driver side window has started sounding like it's being pushed to the limit, could it be the motor.?
It could be a worn motor that's causing the issue
1A Auto Parts would i still have to take everything out to replace the motor.?
If there's power to the window motor and it will not move up or down it may be need to be replaced if it's broke. We carry new window regulators with the motors on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393 we also offer FREE SHIPPING in the lower 48 states.
We don't carry the replacement gear, but we do carry new window regulators for your 97 Honda Civic on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393 Hope this helps you out.
If the cable is bound up, you may need to free up the cable so that the window will move freely. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
You may want to see if there's power going to the window motor when the switch is pressed. If there is no power to the window motor, it could be a bad switch or blown fuse.
We currently do not have an auto repair video on this particular application. We'll keep this in mind during any future repairs that we may make like this.
You did a very through job on this video and I appreciate your posting it to RUclips and your efforts etc.
You may want to remove the door panel and take a look at the window regulator to see if it has broke and needs to be replaced. We carry new ones on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393 FREE SHIPPING in the lower 48 states.

HI Kevin, If the window just falls down, it may be a bad window regulator, or possibly a bad window motor. You may want to take the door panel off and check it out. We carry new window regulators on our website with free shipping. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
It may be a similar process, but might require different size tools. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
hi ours is down. is it possible to temporary manual push up the window to close till we get the right part?
You may want to check in the bottom of the door to see if they fell out of the regulator. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
You would need to buy a test light to test the power to the switches. Check the wire harness between the door and body of the car for a broke or frayed wire that may need to be repaired. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

You may want to see if one of the rods inside of the tailgate is bound up or hitting something, which might be causing it not to work. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
What if my window doesn’t move at all, my drivers side door doesnt open either
It could be a bad window motor or a bad window switch. You may want to test the switch to see if there's power going to it and also the window motor. If there's no power to the switch and the fuse is good, check the wire harness between the door and body of the vehicle for a broken wire. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Check the fuse. You can test the power going to the switch and window motor with a test light or an ohm meter. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
There has to be something that's bound up holding it in place. Usually a broken cable on the window regulator might do this.
It should be the same, if not a very similar process. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Unfortunately we do not have the specifications on the bolts or hardware necessary to mount the window regulator.
My driver side window got stuck halfway this week and it's been raining, so thanks to this video, I was able to replace my own regulator and motor and be dry on my way to work today! I am quite thankful for this video.
For owners of a coupe: there are a few differences in which parts come off and which screws are loosened vs. removed, but it is mostly the same process. The section with the window switch comes out instead of the arm under it and there is a screw in the cubby of the armrest that has to be undone before that comes out. Other than that, it was pretty straightforward to figure out the rest.
Great job. Not knowing much about this, the video was extremely helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for watching! Please call our sales staff they will be able to assist you . The number is 888-844-3393 thanks!

you should be able to apply some of the basic steps show in the video to your Civic. Once you get the door panel off, you should be able to see what's causing the issue.
The issue could be a power door lock actuator. You will have to remove the door panel and test the connection to make sure you are getting the correct voltage to the actuator.
You may have to cut the cable to allow the the window to float up and down freely without binding.
We do not have any videos on the a/c compressor for the 03 Civic
after watching this video i changed our passenger window like a boss! Saved us around a 150 bucks! Thank you very much for the info.
Thank you very much! The dealership wanted to charge me $550 and you helped save me almost $500 by buying the parts at my local auto parts store. It was a challenge but I got it done and my window is now fully functioning
Very helpful. Great instructions. Not your fault but your video does not account for the fact that prior to me attempting the repair someone had run a sheet metal screw through the regulator to keep the window up until the proper repair could be completed. Once I found the screw and removed it the job went just as your video showed. $60.00 for the parts, couple of hours of my time and some choice cussing but now the window operates as designed. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. My 21 yr old daughter watched this video and replaced her power window by herself.
Thanks for the video. I'm not a car enthusiast so am hesitant to attempt fixing the power lock issue. The car is in use day to day by my partner so don't have as much time to work on it. Do you work on the 5 Dr Civic 2003 EU8 Hatchback model ? Not sure the US equivalent
thank you - when you put the window back it will line up by itself to put the bolt back on window and threat is behind the silver tab-- tab first tread 2nd ..
My window for my Honda ex civic 2002 it all of a sudden went down n don’t roll up I looked inside and found a loose cable? What can I do? And is it the cable that’s out of place that is giving me this problem?
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.
+P C Thanks for the feedback!
Inside my driver door it mentions this vehicle is equipped with driver/passenger side airbags, and “do not lean on door”. Is there a sensor I should be aware of inside the door so as not to trigger the side airbags?
Hey there, any idea how to replace the window motor if the window can't move down? I can still take out the top bolts with a wrench really slowly, but will I be able to get the motor out at all?
Thank you for this video! It helped save over $200.
My window is stuck up and I cannot get it to roll down for the life of me. I even cut the regulator cable and nothing happened.
Perfect video and instructions. Worked well for my civic 2005 coupe
Is it possible to just change the motor.. also without removing the window?
Hi I also have a 2001 Civic LX, Both back windows and the passengers are stuck!!! Only the drivers side can open! Could it be possible that I have All 3 motors gone bad?? I've checked all fuses and they're fine! there is no noise coming from either motor nor are the windows falling! how do i test if there is power going to the switch or how do i test the switches!!! Please i need help
I cant get the part that attaches the window to the regulator to come down to the level where i can reach the bolts. How do i get it down?
I have the passenger power door actuator go bad on my 01 civic. It is not opening nor closing, but it jerks a bit when I press the open/close button. Do you know how to replace it? And does it need to be replaced? Perhaps something else could be wrong with it. Thanks!
I have a 01 civic coupe. The window is stuck down inside the door. I looked at the rails and nothing seems to be on its way and yet it won't go up, even if I pull on it by hand. Do you think it's the regulator?
How can I get it to release the window far enough to un-screw it???
Please reply...
hi my window is also stuck in the up position,how do i get it to slide down to the two holes where i can unscrew those 10mm bolts.the motor won't work and the cable is not broken.I tried pushing it up and down but it won't budge.Thanks
I have a 01 civic coupe. The window got stuck inside the door. I took it apart and nothing seems to keep it from coming up, the window is on track in the rails but it won't go up or down freely. Do I have to replace the regulator???
Please respond...
i have an 01 civic but my passenger window doesnt make any noise or just fall when i try to roll it down. same goes for the window to the back right. could it still be the regulator or is a blown fuse?
hi i have volvo v70 2.4 year is 2000 estate i change the tailgate lock on it is still not working all the doors still work but the tailgate does not . have any info please. regards.
Someone has previously removed the bolts and the old broken motor and not left us with the bolts, so, can you tell us the length and thread we need to replace the bolts?
Thanks, Mike. You're the man. I'll be buying my regulator from you folks as a direct result of you putting this video up and doing a great job. Thanks!
+Xander Slocum Thank you! Glad we could help and thanks for watching 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Is it the same process for manual window ?
Today my cables are broken... This video helps me a lot. Thank you very much from Spain.
I have a 2002 civic LX, both front & rear passenger side windows dont work. Checked the fuses everything is good. What would be the problem?
HI Ryan, Check the wire harness that runs between the drivers side door and body of the vehicle of a possible broken or frayed wire that may need to be repaired. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3339
I have a 2000 honda civic and the window got stuck in the open position. Does this procedure work for my car as well?
good vid, thank you for being clear and concise!
Prior to replacing any of the passenger side or rear window regulators be sure your wife hasn't pushed down the child safety button on the driver's armrest and left it like that.
+Joe Vignolo Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Thanks I got it done smooth because of yall
Do you have a video for a 08 honda civic ex front left door power regulator???
The rear passenger motor went out in mine yesterday, i luckily found the only motor and assembly in stock at a O’Reillys and was able to replace it within an hour, only 81 dollars.
This vid saved me
thanks! ill get to it.
keep up the great work
can you help me out ..
Honda civic Si hatch 2doors , the right window is very slow! it takes about 8-10 seconds to go up! (normal speed when it goes down)
your advise please
You could try to use a little bit of silicone spray on the weatherstrip, and some white lithium grease on the window regulator track to see if that helps to speed it up. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
1A Auto Parts thanks man.. :)
On section 6:30, you didn’t show the Old vs New part comparison, so we could see The ruined - Old part from the new part! I think it could’ve been a GREAT Idea to show it!
Very great video. I just did it here in my garage. Love the narrator and the work. Saved me a bunch. Thank you for your video!!!!
well it doesnt fall down at all. it doesnt even move.
Tirns outy regulator is fine, but the glue holding my window to the holders bolted to the regulator gave way. What kind of glue should be used to secure the window?
I literally used this exact video to replace the power window regulator on my old 2004 Honda today. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
I used this and one other 1A video to do this repair with my son today. I think I have done more car repairs with my son than his dad has lol. Thanks so much!!
Nothing should be this difficult. Screw Honda! On my 30 year old Volvo all power window switches work perfectly.
That was educational. Thanks
Thanks for the video, I am struggling to get my passenger side window to open. There is no noise at all coming from the motor, power is getting to the switch but then the fuse blew. The other three windows are fine. Both the driver window control button and the passenger window button fail to open the window. I've taken the door apart and because the window is fully closed, it does not come down to align the nuts and bolts as you showed in the video. So I can't take the window out. Any suggestions?
Thanks very much for sharing. I was able to do this repair on my '90 CRX using pointers from your video.
I did all this and my window was working for about a week now it wont go up?!?!
I just watched the video and found out how easy it is to replace the window regulator, so I ordered it. cant wait to get it and install it. Thanks for the video Good job.
Thank you for the detailed video and quick delivery of the regulator! I was able to replace the regulator in a very short amount of time and for a fraction of the cost. Excellent service! Highly recommend
just an FYI. the 2 door and 4 door models use different regulators/assemblys
my driver's side power window goes down about half way and then I hear a crunching sound. I can pull up the window slighly, and then the power window will roll back up. if the window rolls all the way down, I can do the same thing: pull up the window slightly and then it power roll all the way back up. Someone said it's the "scissors"?
Also, I've owned the car since 1996 (it's a 1994 civic lx). btw, the only time the windows have rolled up/down quickly is when the battery was wired wrong!
Your videos rock Thank you for them. But I have 04 civic passenger window that rolls down about 3/4 of the way and then seems to bind and stop. Also when the widow seems to bind it pusses the window towards the front of the car. I can roll the window up and down to this point just fine with no noise.
Would this bee a regulator issue or a window channel issue.
My window is stuck in the up position as of today, if i press the button you can hear the engine revs drop slightly as if its drawing power, but the window doesnt budge . in the past it has occasionally made a slight grinding or stuttering noise ~ is that a dud regulator?
My 2004 Civic's rear passenger window became stuck today. I heard no noise or anything when I push the button to make the window go up/ down. What do you think might cause this?
My window had fallen into the door panel on a freezing morning as i was dropping off my gf... i had it wedged with cardboard and i used tape for less than a year bc i couldn’t afford it, all i could do was watch this video. Now I bought a regulator and i installed it this morning and i used this video the whole way. Thank you. 10/9/20

i have the same car.... the rear left door lock only works manually, the rest lock and unlock electronically any ideas on what this could be?
Great video. Saved me from damaging my car. Unfortunately I ordered window Motor assembly for a sedan, not a coupe. Ugh.
+JOHNizSiK Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Just finished my wife’s window. The longest part was actually those first two screws, being that they are hidden up in the door. Get a screwdriver that’s magnetic to make the process easier. I did it alone in about 45 minutes but with two people, it’ll be much faster. Other than that, very good tutorial.

How to install 2002 suburban drivers door glass electric window
2002 suburban drivers power window replacement for
Thanks for sharing the video. My Honda 2003 driver side window is not coming down. Do you think it's more of a motor issue or the power switch problem. Secondly, if I remove the door panel as shown in this video, how am I going to remove the window since the window is close all the way up. Is there a way to manually lower down the window once the door panel is removed?
Just saw this now. Now your second comment makes more sense haha So anyway, test the switch itself with a digital multi-meter. Pull the harness out of the motor and probe it to see if you have any power going to it from the switch (on the 12V setting). If you don't you know the switch is bad. If you do, but the window won't move then you know the motor is shot. If you can't get the window down, but you know the motor or regulator is shot, you may have to cut the regulator cable and move the window down by hand. This wouldn't be ideal, but it would be ok since you'd be replacing the regulator anyway. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com?RUclips&CTA%20Comment&ATony 866-403-3393
I replaced the regulator and motor but it still doesn't work. I think there is no power. What should I try next? Is there a way to test the circuit?
hi so this is probably a stupid question but i am not that car smart.. anyways i have a 2001 honda civic coup does this apply for that as well? i ask because i have the motor for the passenger side of my car so i only ask if i am watching the correct procedures for that. please get back to me ^____^
Thank you for watching. The process should be similar.
888-844-3393
It turns out that the master switch on the driver's door was bad. The fact that both windows on the passenger's side didn't work should have been my first clue!
