Power Windows in Civic
Hey guys, I think there's something wrong with my driver side power window. When I'm lowering the window, the first half would be just fine, but the second half would kinda go down real slow, when pulling the window back up, the first half would be real real slow and then it speeds up as the bottom half of the window appears. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks

That's the great thing about owning a new car........THE WARRANTEE...........just take it back and make the dealer fix it.
It sounds like your window motor is "tired".

Rep Power: 412 That's kinda wierd. I've never heard of anything like that. I do know that if you are trying to roll down both windows at the same time it goes slower than if you were doing it one at a tiem.

damn straight... i already paid for it when i BOUGHT the car... any defects screw ups or just plain junk that was put in your car... like my tranny that honda rebuilt cause they refused to give me a new one... car was out in two days with whole new rebuild..lol... i even made them pay for my lunch cause i had to wait the second day [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
but seriously .. i know for a fact the the ruber tracks on the inside of the windows pop off cause the window to roll up and down slower.. check the DIY for the front door skin removal and peek in there... youll be able to clearly see if the rubber track is off the metal rail...

I read a DIY on another site and it said to spray WD40 on the outside of the window...then roll it up and down a few times. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Yeah I have had warranty work done and they have never charged me anything 
even on my moms chevy blazer they never charged us
Yeah WD-40 wouldn't that be bad on tint? Anyone know if silicone spray to keep the rubber soft around your windows is bad for the tint?

Rep Power: 0 Hey, so what did you do ultimately? Did you take it back and get it fixed? What did they say it was?? I'm having the SAME problem with my window... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] er.. HAD, when I lived in Seattle and yeah, when it was kinda rainy.. but I don't have a warranty on my 96 Civic.... just wondering what the deal was with yours so maybe I can try to fix it myself. Only fix it FOR GOOD this time
