RazorbackMustang Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 So the driver's side window on my 96 civic decided it doesn't want to roll all the way up anymore. It gets about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch from the top and just stops rolling up. It just makes a banging sound like there's teeth missing from the motor gear or something. There are no teeth missing though. I've checked. It's like something is worn out but I can't tell what. Any ideas? Do you think this is even fixable? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 eh i cant really help you. but have you tried taking the door panel off and watching everything while the window goes up, see if its catching anything. you might be able to find the exact spot where its messing up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now drive it with the door panel off at all times as the window gets stuck down all the time. I've felt around and I can't really see anything out of place. Oh well, guess I'll just have to live with it until I can get rid of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorbackMustang Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 i got the same problem with my civic bro(on the drivers side no less) im just gettin a new door from the junkyard to get a new window, tracks, etc. I think that's what I'm going to end up having to do. I can't even get my hand in there to find anything, let alone tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zack96civ Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 it sounds like the track may be bent, my civic got broken into about a year ago, and when they busted the window out it bent the track so my window stayed about 1/4 of an inch down. other than that im not sure man i know it sucks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crxtacy Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Try checking the play on the window regulator.Usually that wears out.look at the gears on the regulator side.Or rool the window up and watch the gears meshing .you'll see that the motor keeps spinning but the regulator gear worn out.
