Both of the windows on my metrosexual 2000 Honda Civic are messed up. The passenger side only rolls up halfway because the rubber lining in the door somehow got stuck in the track where the window goes. The driver's side rolls up just fine until the very top where it makes a clanking sound and shakes around. What I'm trying to say is that it's awesome because it's raining here. Today I tried to take apart the door so I could have a look at and possibly fix the windows, but I'm not good at things so could any of you tell me what I have to do?

I locked my keys in my car on Saturday. When the guy came to use the slimjim to open it, I paid him his money, got in the car, and drove off.

Now the door won't open. At all. Awesome.

I have a Civic as well. Just get a regular philips head, and unscrew everything in the door. There should be 5/6 I think. Door handle lever, door handle where you pull it closed, top, sides, bottom.

Pull out the little tray in the door handle, and the little plastic piece around the lever, then you can pull off the inside of the door. Gently up and out. Then you can see everything going on, take out your windows and whatnot, and fix everything.

your answer lies within.

remove interior door trim (door handles, window crank, pockets, etc)
unscrew trim screws around outside of door
lift door card up and away, taking care to undo any electical connections
cut vapour barrier (so you can reattach it after)
examine.

note - not based on a honda. based on a VW, because they break a lot more

Shortly after I bought my Tacoma 2 years ago (brand new mind you) my drivers side power window malfunctioned on the highway during a blizzard. It rolled down on its own and wouldn't roll back up. So I drove 25 minutes to the nearest Toyota dealership getting pelted in the face with snow and sleet in complete disbelief. I showed up looking like half snowman, half businessman, all irate Irishman and demanded it be fixed immediately. I pulled into the dealerships garage covered in snow and the manager approached my drivers side window and said "Hi .. how can I help you tonight?" ..... I just stared back at him teeth clenched with fume coming out of my ears, communicating the phrase "WHAT THE **** DO YOU THINK IM HERE FOR???" telepathically. He got it after a few seconds, apologized and offered me hot chocolate in the waiting room.

Carry on..

Is this the next super thread?

Replace both side windows with orange garbage bags.

Buy a new car.


You're welcome.

So do you climb in through the window Dukes of Hazard style?


I can't find any screws except for the door handle and where the lever for the window is. There are three screws in the door jam where the door latches closed, but I stripped one.


I don't think I'm finding all of the screws. Think you could drive out here and give me a hand? And then give me another hand possibly formed into a fist?



As far as I'm concerned it is. Lock up that damn sick thread. It's panda time.

Passenger side door. The looks I get at the gas station have been priceless. Oh, and a toddler giggled at me and pointed at the library today, so I flicked a cigarette butt at him, and his mother whispered something that was no doubt quite nasty to himm

well in that case, ground floor



oh, and I'm pretty sure Civics and crowbars are compatible.

You're an amazement. Do you get a little pick-me-up in your day when you "accidentally" get a little too much e-brake in the poop chute when you're sliding over?

What books did you get?

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Aweome. In on the first page!


I once lost the keys to my car (same night I was arrested on Halloween) and I had a ounce of weed on my front seat, out in the open. The locksmith who came to unlock my doors and make me new keys, smiled wildly as if I was gonna share. So.. I did.

I borrowed 2 CDs to burn, 2 DVDs to burn, a copy of "Stamping Butterflies" by a guy whose name I can't recall, and finally I stole an old copy of Sports Illustrated I wanted, because it needs to be on my wall somewhere.

That little kid was dressed like such a faggot...

It's all coming together now. If Rod tells us a story of some sort I'm going to tell Kieth to delete the sick thread.


You bent over?


Good man. Speaking of uppity little kids I've got a very short story that I just remembered.

Would you expect any different?

noooooo.




YEESSSSSSS!

The other night while sharing a bed with my friend (male of course) we were reminiscing about how cool we are, and naturally we had lots to talk about. Then we remembered something that we hadn't thought about in quite some time. Let me take you back a few years to my high school life. Ah, high school, back when all guys thought of nothing but getting in some unfortunate girl's panties. Not us though. We were special. On Friday nights, like most high schools, just about everyone went to the football games. I was on the team for my freshman and sophomore year, but this was junior year and my ambition had gone the way of my once clear face. My best friend Paul and I show up in my mother's green minivan and realize quickly that we were foolish to leave the house without a jacket of some sort. We had light sweaters on, but the wind was much worse in the bleachers, and it was damn cold out there. No problem though, we would just have to find a couple of sweet ladies that had a blanket and snuggle up next to them, or so one might think. We found girls with blankets sure enough, but here's where things get fun. After we had sufficiently creeped them out with out homosocial banter they ditched us and left behind the blanket so we wouldn't be tempted to follow. We were left with a problem. Who would get to be warm? Should we just take turns? One of us would inevitable be left out in the cold. We did what any natural men would do. We cuddled. So there we were on the bottom row of the bleachers sharing a blanket and giggling like a couple school girls when this punk *** six year old and his mother walked by. Let me note first that we had made a clear division of the blanket between the two of us that we had taken to calling The Straight Barrier. I might also add that by this point the barrier may have been blurred a little, just a little, to improve the body heat situation. But this snide little ***** boy comes sauntering by, looks over at us, tugs on his mommy's dress hem and says, and I quote, "Hey Mommy. Why are those two boys snuggling?" We erupted in unison, "THERE'S A STRAIGHT BARRIER! SEE?!?!" followed by various threats suited for a boy of his stature. But it was no use he just kept on going while everyone within earshot just thought that that was the funniest thing they'd ever heard. Our collective pride was wounded, but we weren't about to be cold. No sir. We snuggled right up until the end of the fourth quarter, and by that time most of our classmates had walked by and seen us at one point or another. A man's got to do what a man's got to do.

is it a vibrator?



wait..at what age does it stop being acceptable?

I'm like a ninja with this shit now.

FYP

Dude, you gotta bold the part you fixed. As funny as it was, I'm not reading it over again to find out what you did.


Edit: Never mind. Very nice

Turd, I think where you have to look is on the sides of the doors. Open the doors, and look on the side part that you can't see when the door is shut.

Break the stripped screw without ruining the aesthetics if you can.

I'm glad that I drive a Jeep Wrangler, and the only thing separating me from the guts of the window is a piece of cardboard covered in fake vinyl.

I don't drive an import, and couldn't tell you the difference between a civic and an accord, but I found this on about.com.

You might take note.

http://autorepair.about.com/cs/faqs/l/bl066e.htm

It seems like it may be a good place to start.

I sold my car when DN informed me of the Global Warming crisis. So I cant help.

You got it. Nice work.

January 13, 1991. It had been a long day in the mines. Randy, my coworker and good friend, came up behind me in the change room after our shift and mentioned that he was heading out to Angel's Eyes, a new bar in town, later that night and asked if I wanted to join him for a couple of drinks.

I'm not feeling particularly funny or creative tonight, so I'm just going to make a long story short and mention that we ended up having anal (sexual) intercourse later that night.

With our penises.

And our bums.

RIP sick thread (March 20, 2006 - Feb. 19, 2007)

There's a car on the route to campus that has both windows down, has been this way all season. The snow was about four inches thick in there a few days ago.

I'm all about panda's, especially samurai panda's. Best thread ever, I bow to you sir.

I think that'll do. I think that'll do just fine. :chuckles smugly as thought there's a secret that nobody else knows even though there's clearly not:


I guess that'll have to work. It's got penises and that's all I could ask for. Anybody who wants anything from that thread better get it now.

Cars are my business... tell me the model of civic and I will fax or email you the piece by piece diagrams and instructions for dismantling the door.

Civic CX, DX, EX, GX, HX, or LX... also is it a coupe, hatchback, or sedan?

I assume it has the 1.6L engine?

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Remove the door panel. Refer to section 20 of the 1996-00 Civic Service Manual.

2. Remove the armrest bracket, then pull down the plastic cover to gain access to the window regulator.


3. Carefully move the glass until you can see the glass mounting bolts, then loosen them. Slide the guide rearward, remove the glass from the guide, and carefully pull the glass out through the window slot.

4. Check the year and VIN.

^ If the vehicle is a 1996 or 1997 within the affected VIN range, replace the window regulator. Go to step 5.

^ If the vehicle is not a 1996 or 1997 within the affected VIN range, go to step 8.


5. Remove the two roller guide bolts and the two rear regulator mounting bolts; then remove the front regulator mounting bolts.

6. Disconnect the power window motor connector, and detach the harness clip (it applicable); then lift and remove the regulator through the opening in the door.

7. Install the new regulator in the door, then loosely install the two rear mounting bolts and the two roller guide bolts. Do not tighten the two front mounting bolts yet. Go to step 9.

8. Loosen the window regulator's two rear mounting bolts, two front mounting bolts, and two roller guide bolts.


9. Inspect the glass run channel:

^ If the run channel is not sitting in the window channels properly, reinstall it.

^ If the run channel is damaged, replace it. Refer to section 20 of the appropriate service manual.

^ If the run channel is sitting in the window channels properly, go to step 10.

NOTE : If the run channel is sitting in the window channels properly and the window regulator was not replaced, disregard this service bulletin and follow normal troubleshooting procedures.


10. Reinstall the glass in the door, but do not tighten the glass mounting bolts. Reconnect the power window motor connector, and temporarily reconnect the window switch (if applicable). Raise the window about 100 mm (4.0 in.) from the fully lowered position.


11. Push the glass toward the rear of the door, and have an assistant tighten the two glass mounting bolts, the four regulator mounting bolts, and the two roller guide bolts.


12. Loosen the front channel mounting bolt and nut. Push the front channel toward the glass, and tighten the mounting bolt and nut.

13. Check the window for smooth operation, and check for gaps between the glass and the run channel with the window all the way up.

^ If the window does not operate smoothly, or if you see gaps between the run channel and the window, loosen all the mounting bolts, and repeat steps 10 through 12.

^ If the window operates smoothly and you see no gaps between the run channel and the window, reinstall the plastic cover, the armrest bracket, and the door panel.

dont bullshit us. you googled that.

It's a two door EX I believe. Thanks for the diagrams. I've been looking for something like that on Google all day.

actually I didn't. I have access to a program called Alldata online... my sign on screen is here.

I can get all tech bulletins for any car ever in a matter of seconds.

Oh, i know...I wasn't being serious, but you thought I was.

No. He drew them himself in MS Paint.

brag post.

Jeepster- .375
Brvheart- 10

Carry on.

Good cuddling story. Believe me, I've been there many times...people staring uncomfortably...defiantly holding on to a close male friend for warmth (and companionship) purposes only...I'm behind you all the way.

Alright Mr Car Expert...


I dont have the owners manual for my Ford Explorer. On my mirror, it shows the current outside temp, and well as the direction you are driving, but lately, it has been flashing ICE. What the hell does that mean?

For Caleb:

It means the car is having a nervous breakdown from all the coke fumes that have circulated through its interior and vents over the years. It probably means "SNOW", but its circuits are too fried to tell the difference.

Coke doesnt emit fumes, unless you smoke it, which Ive never done. But I did spill a a teener off a CD a while back.

I almost cried.

It means it's f-ing cold in Iowa and Minnesota.
