are your window tracks worn out ? i know on the 4 door model there is a problem with the electric windows, a rod gets bent and will caouse the window to close improperly

I'm having problems with my stupid electric passenger windows too. The rubber or somethings stopping it from rolling up. It just started doing that and it really pisses me off. Or it could be that rod that Honda-maniac is talking bout. Is ther anyway to repair that rod? Anyone know?

i't the rod and the window rubber track. there is no way to have that fixed unless you get a new window crane(i don't knoiw the correct term for it). most of the parts inside it are riveted

Sounds similar to my problem on my '01. I just noticed the other day that the passenger's front window was messed up. It closes completely, but the little rubber stripping that goes around the top side was all bent up into the track the top of the glass is supposed to sit in.......about 20 minutes later I finally got the stuff bent back out and rolled the window up while holding it very stiffly to keep it from bending itself back in the track. Now I'm just gonna not use that window for a while and hope the intense heat here in the summer helps form the rubber back so that it won't try to bend up into the track again.

For 10k miles that's not a good sign.......

Same problem...

Yes, I have that problem as well but only occasionally. Sometimes, I get pissed off about it and sort of hit the window and then it stops. Don't do that though because maybe you will break it and be upset with me.

that will be a temporary fix and then in a few weeks won't help at all.

Yeah, I know. Hitting the window is obviously not the smart thing to do but it's not like I get all psycho and punch it with all my might or anything. I just sort of bang it with the side of my hand. I don't know what to do. If possible, maybe I can take a better look when I take all my door paneling off to replace my mirrors.

How easy do you think it is for them to replace the stripping? I dunno what it would involve....*sigh* I just hate taking my car to have anybody work on it.

I'll probably just wait and worry about it later. If it doesn't fix itself in the heat, which it probably won't, I'll maybe just get it done next year or something.
