Electric Window Jammed..

i was just wondering if any1 has had a similair problem and would know how to repair a jammed electric window aya.. its only made it half way wont close fully.. the rubber has worned off probally or need re-alligining.. because the glass window seems off proportioned..? i have to wait a week for my mechanic to get it done damn*.. any1 got some tips.. ive never taken the door into pieces and im afraid that i may accidently ripp my tweeter and speaker cables off in the process..! jus wondering if theres a way to explain how i can get it apart saftly... and how to realign the damn thing :confused:

I would wait on your mechanic, man. My boy had that same thing happen and he tried to take the door apart and broke the whole f'n window!! I'm sure that it just needs re-aligned, not a big deal. But if you want to go at it yourself, you gots to bust that whole door apart. Wouldn't hurt to get some new rubber for it so it doesn't happen again. Did you try pushing up or down on the window while holding the button?? Just an idea.....

Sounds like its time for a window regulator & run channel

haha yeah.. i tried and no luck tommoro im gonna ask the mechanic if he can squeeze my car in without appointment..*crossd fingers*! hrmm but yeah the whole window is out of alignment if i forced the window up itll move towards the rear view window and could break the glass cant risk it.. but thanks guys..!

btw i hope your son got his fixed..! its a small thing but the inconvenience becomes great!! :P

What's up DOC-50N...
I'm going to keep this short because I just got kicked off after I typed a few paragraphs....note to self: don't try to post when logged in under hotmail!
Anyhow...had the same problem and I took my car to Honda (I advise the same) and they told me that it could be a multitude of things but start simple....
They shot the guides with some silicone, put the window back on track, and I haven't had any problems since...it cost me like $17 bucks in labor ...no charge for the silicone...and he told me to about twice a year...and maybe more in cold/raily months... to give it a shot just to keep it "lubed" up....
keep it simple and cheap....

No worries DOC-50N...I try to help when I can and if it's cheap and simple...the better the fix.

Sounds like the teeth on the motor are worn, if the motor is turning even though the window isn't moving then this is the case. your speakers are attached to the door, not the door panel so you should be able to take it apart easily without damaging them....
