30 minutes, $50 part, $250 saved. Thank you!!
5years later and prices still the same, was just told $240 to fix mine
This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. It was clear, concise, thorough. Great job. Thank you!!!
No it isn’t. Dude doesn’t explain how to get the window connected to it again. Skips how to angle the regulator this video is trash.
I was seriously considering taking my car to my mechanic as I thought this was going to be a job beyond my comfort zone. But, with the detailed, step-by-step instructions here, I decided to try it myself. Two words: NAILED IT!! Thanks SO much for taking the time to make & post this vid. Couldn't have done it without your help! 😀
Howard Ronkin that's awesome glad the video helped out! Thank you for watching and sharing!
Exactly
I followed this today on my parents' 2003 Accord EX-L V6. I ordered the Dorman replacement part and the installation was a breeze. The old regulator+motor assembly was in pieces in their door, so definitely had to make sure I wasn't leaving any debris down in there. Had to reach in 6 or 7 times to grab it all.
Cheers for making a great and easy to follow video. Dealer wanted nearly $800 to repair it, and I spent $65 total and an hour of time.
verinox that’s awesome that you save that much money. Glad the video helped and thank you for watching!
This vid is a Godsend! Brian Eslick thoroughly shows you step by step how to do this project with confidence. Anyone that's a DIY'er will appreciate his detailed instructions. Another big bonus is the links for the product and tools needed. Do yourselves a favor and SUB!!!
joe thank you very much! I'm glad the videos help thank you for subscribing and watching!
Wonderful video! This shows very clearly how to disassemble, take everything out and reassemble the whole unit! The gentleman showing this also explains everything so clearly and detailed that this should be an easy job if you follow his instructions (looking at purchasing an Accord that needs both sides replaced). I've put this in my favorites (Honda - have a Prelude that needs either a new engine or a rebuild).
Uncommonsensesc Glad the video helped. Thank you for watching and writing!
Thank you, I saved several hundred dollars by being able to fix my window myself
Melanie Howitt that’s awesome. Glad the video helped out. Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks! I fixed it in an hour. My electrical clips were tough to pry apart and the glue holding the vapor barrier (plastic sheet) was pretty much welded to the door. They were generous with the glue at the factory that day, apparently. Lol. But it was a cinch. I ordered the regulator/motor assembly from DORMAN off of amazon. They were kind enough to set the height of the regulator so I didn't have to adjust the height before connecting the window to it. It came that way from the warehouse. Thank you for not needlessly talking and carrying on between install steps. Straight to the point. Perfect.
Jason Hill Glad the video was helpful. Sounds like it went smooth for you. Thank you for watching!
Awesome video. Very detailed and easy for all to understand. I replaced the regulator and motor in less than 2 hours. Only took that long because I was trying to do 2 things at once. Thanks for the video. Saved several hundred in parts and labor for sure.
Worked like a charm, thanks! Had to get help from a family member and it took about an hour/hour and a half. Part was only $63. Disassembly was straightforward; the hardest part was remembering where everything went when reassembling the door.
My power window took a crap on me. AAA quoted me $392 for the replacement regulator/motor and almost $200 for labor. I said screw that, looked up an instructional video and found this one. Seemed eminently doable, so I bought the part from Autozone for $70 bucks. Took me less than an hour and only that long because I kept referring to this video to make sure I didn't miss a step.
I want to stress that I am NOT a car guy. I don't even change my own oil and the most complicated thing I've done to my vehicles over the years is changing a tire.
Excellent video! Appreciate it and screw the big mechanics! Amazing that it's legal for them to quote you more than 5 times the actual cost of the pat.
Thanks again!! You got yourself another subscriber.
This was the best video I've seen on this. I had to do this on both of my cars. 06 Honda and 06 Sentra. Huge help!! Saved me hundreds!! Thanks!!
Jamar Moore glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Thanks a ton for great video . Followed complete sequence of steps to replace the window regulator assembly. Glass rolling up and down again!!!
Thank you for watching!
Great video. I had to install the replacement parts multiple times and finally realized the mechanism that screws into the window and moves the window up and down was by default at the bottom of the rod so we had to reinstall the door a few times to use the door controls to move that piece up into place. Once we aligned it and screwed the bolt through that piece and the window everything worked smoothly, but it took us 2+ hrs. Glad it’s over!
Thank you, Brian, for detailed, easy to follow, videos! As I went to the store today, my driver window would only close to within an inch of closed! I could hear the motor running, but no window movement! Then, as I closed the door, I heard a "clunk" inside the door. So I immediately went to TH-cam to find how to change out the motor. Fortunate, Autozone had the correct motor / regulator assembly in stock. Here I am 4 hours later, thanks to your videos and AutoZone, with a working power window. THANKS!!
Kenneth Spivey awesome I’m glad the video helped you get your window back working. Thank you for watching!
Great video, but the year model is 2003-2007.
Thank you for the video. This taught me not to slam my door out of frustration again. Lesson learned. I appreciate the video, I’ll be tackling this tomorrow morning
Sorry that happened. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. Thank you for watching!
Excellent video. I was successful and I wouldn't and couldn't have done it without it. One ad lib I had to make was because my window was stuck closed so I didn't have access to the bolts attaching the bracket to the window. I had to cut the bracket half way down with my grinder. The window then came down enough to match up with the access holes.
Thank you.
I might have to do something like this... mine's stuck all the way down and won't budge... (on the passenger side)
Well done! Easy to follow from beginning to end. I didn't want to drive around with the window down for a week waiting for an appointment. I picked up the parts late Saturday morning and by mid afternoon I was cleaning up and putting away my tools. I didn't mind saving a few $$$ either! Thanks! You should teach classes on how to create clear and concise videos!
I just finished doing this and this video was definitely. Keep in mind, my Accord is 15 years old. It definitely presented challenges. Make sure you align the windows inside the grooves in the side so it doesn't pop out of the window frame. Also, the 2 middle bolts that go to the plastic portion of the window regulator; be sure to adjust it accordingly. If you don't, your window will get stick on tbe way up.
Great video. Very straightforward with clear instructions. Thank you
Doing my sisters window clips next weekend. Thanks for the refresher in mechanics it’s been a while lol 👊🏽
Glad to help. Good luck with your sisters car!
I can't even begin to thank you for posting this detail video. Your directions we're perfect and specific. I just have one question on my 06 V6, The power up and down feature on the driver's side isn't functioning after replacing the regulator. Thank you so much for this.
Great video! Just used this to replace driver and passenger side. Nice detail and explanation, I recommend this to anyone that needs to replace these. The only problem I ran into was after 20 years the door handle cables had broken at the connector. They still worked but I would have bought new ones had I known. Windows are back in action. Thank you!
Thank you for making this video. I only wish I would have found it sooner. I already purchased my parts and if I would have gotten them from your link, I would have saved $50
Luis Ramirez I all that matters is you got your car fixed👍🏻 thank you for watching!
So grateful to have these instructions. THANKS! Darn proud of myself to do this and had my son as a backup and he helped give me the confidence. And recoding it! Saved a bundle!
John Casoni that's so cool! Glad the video helped. Thank you for watching and sharing!
Thanks for this video. You saved me at least 2 hours. Able to follow along and get it done in no time.
Mark Stephens glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Thanks so much for the video. It helped me tremendously on my daughters 2004 Accord.
I used this video to learn how to replace my window after someone shattered it. $97 part and $250 saved from the auto shop. Thank you!
bro saving lives out here thank you 🙏
Excellent video! Was going to take to local mechanic but decided to give it a shot. Weather barrier was the only issue, stuck on pretty good. It took about 10 minutes to disassemble and about 10 to put everything back together.
Mark Shoemaker sounds like it all went well. Thank you for watching!!
Thanks, gave me the confidence I need to tackle the job on my daughter-in-laws Honda.
This was a very helpful video!! Just fixed my window, who ever would’ve thought??!! Thanks much!
Thanks man, vid made it simple asf. I got it done in less than 30 minutes
ddvfdvf dvdfvdv glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
This is a great video. I have a 2004 Acura TL that is almost identical to the Honda in this video. I chose to order the Acura part and not the Honda part which was cheaper but the parts search engine said that it would not fit my car. The most important mistake I made was not remembering to make sure the new part had the window mount lined up with the two holes. If it is not, like the video says you have to hook up the door panel again and with the motor connected place them in the right spot so you can bolt the window to the new part. Another mistake I made was that the window did not seat within the rubber frame. To fix this on the Acura there is a bracket on the side where the speaker is that you can loosen that allowed the window to go back into place. You just have to loosen two bolts. Took me 15 minutes to take apart and 1 hour to put back together. Thanks again for a great video.
Russell Kellerman sounds like you got it all worked out. Thank you for all the tips and for watching!!
Excellent video. Only problem I had was the glass had gotten out of the groove on the right side. Once I got it back it place, it was easy to find the holes to mount the glass on. Appreciate the tip on powering the new regulator just enough so the holes line up.
That's one of the better tutorials I've seen. Thx a lot!
Thank you for watching!
Really good video I also had to change the window also this helped me 100 percent thanks for making it.

Great instructional video!
great video, thanks man!!!
Thank you for watching! Did everything go smooth?
Is this to fix both front windows or only the driver side?
Worked like a champ, except the control thinks the fully-closed position is about 1/3 open. So I hit auto close and it goes all the way closed, then reopens to about 1/3 open & stops. Anyway thanks for the video, very helpful.
Well done thanks!
Thanks for posting this. I watched this video and one from another guy. Both were helpful and I was able to replace both my passenger (dead motor) and my drivers (on the fritz) window regulators. Both are working great now!
I don't see a link for the little clips on the door panel. I had a few break. Any idea on the part number?
Hi Chris. Glad the video helped out. Her is a link for the clips 25 Acura & Honda Door Panel Clips Fasteners amzn.to/2tInnFC Thank you for watching!
thanks for the video! I'm getting ready to do this for my car, do you need any replacement sealant for the weather barrier when reinstalling?
I did my driver side. Everything was fine but I couldn't make my window open automatically like it used to. Any advice. Thanks.
Very helpful! Thank you
Bryce Black glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Thanks man was real helpful
in the 2002 model, you need to unhook two interlooks behind the handle by slinding to the front of the car.
Nice Demo.
Thank you!
What if the window was already up
Exactly
I don't know why my driver's side window goes off track when i try to roll it up. Do you have any idea what could be the reason? I have honda accord 2003 also.
A great video. Thanks for much!
Bill Alexander Thank you for watching!
Perfect video! Thank you!
Thanks for your vid really help me out .
Glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Nice. So what if my window is stuck in the close position? How am I suppose to unscrew the 10mm bolts attached to the window?
What you do then is try to cut the cables on the window regulator and that will allow it to slide up and down.
@@HowtoAutomotive That's exactly what I did. I just finished...2 hours later. Lol. Thanks.
Does This regulator part number work for 2002 accord LX?
Thank you
Thank you sir
J Denha thank you for watching!!
This seems to be a Honda problem. My switch was broken so was my regulator. Now just my power switch is broken and the window doesn’t go down. It makes weird noises when I press the button, even long after I pressed i. Do u have any idea what could be wrong?
What a great video.
nola grom latino thank you and thank you for watching!
Nailed it ,, thanks alot man
Mansour Fenom R9 thank you for watching!
How do you slide the glass up when it’s attached??
Thanks Sir 🙏 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching!
2:20
Can someone please help?? I get to this part exactly and perfectly but for some reason the window won’t go up and won’t move at all. Is there any reason for this?
Thanks!
The glass must not be in the rubber molding/track. So check to see if it fell on out and it slipped on the inside of it and not in the groove.
My regulator fine it’s the clips on the bottom of the glass come off any videos on how to fix that
I miss conventional windows just roll it down , no electric window going out on you 😆
Brother I need your advice and brilliant ideas PLEASE my bro.
I'm Michael in England by the way brother and own a 2000 Honda Civic EJ9 Hatchback but right hand drive for the Japanese Market.
So unknowingly I've only gone and ordered a Dorman 741-736 window regulator which is for a USDM Honda Civic's (Passenger side) so have just discovered that the regulators motor electrical plug is a 2 pin whereas on my UKDM Civic (Driver side) it's a 4 pin plug.
So basically regulator and motor would fit as it's for the right side door, just theres 2 wires and a 2 pin plug instead of 4 wires and a 4 pin plug to connect to my UKDM wiring as my civic is right hand drive and regulators are reversal compared to left hand drives.
Any ideas to work round this bro? Damn totally my fault I should've known plugs would be different being that RHD - UKDM and LHD- USDM,
Totally my fault 🤦🏼🤣
Your advice and ideas would be greatly appreciated please brother,
Kind regards
Michael in England
Thank you!!!
Please help! my window glass won't slide down my regulator so I can't get the (2) 10mm bolts off... Any ideas??
nevermind, got it! had to pull my window up out of the door and rotate it a bit to get to them
What if my regulator is stuck up and I can't reach the bolts to disconnect it from the glass?
Cut the cables on the regulator
thanks buddy!
Does anyone know where I can get a ..a weather barrier ?
Gracias amigo
Followed it. Still not coming off or out
