@Benton Arjun thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
This video was super helpful for me to get my front driver window to go up. Thanks so much!!!
No problem, glad it was helpful and appreciate you taking the time to comment and tell your experience!
Thank god you have a 95 cus it’s hard to find a 95 civic to watch videos on and I have a 95 hatchback and my regulator finally gave out on me and snapped my driver side window in half
Haha I'm just glad there are folks out there still showing love to these cars and want to keep them running. Glad the video was helpful and appreciate you taking the time to comment
mr mojo, you are the bomb. just keep keepin on in that direction. practice makes perfect. you're pretty close. thanks.
Thanks for the thoughtful response, really appreciated! It's always good to hear my style is headed in correct direction to be able to make video that are clear for folks
My car window was stuck, and I couldn’t get it closed I found your video, and it was super helpful. Thank you 🙏🏾
Glad the video was helpful for you! Thank you for sharing your feedback and thoughts
You’re good at explaining things clearly. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback and hope this video provided useful info!
Its 2019 and I think manual cranks should still be used in cars today. My electric window on the drivers side doesn't work on my current vehicle and my last two cars had broken electric cranks on the driver side. I'm cursed to open my door when ever I get fast food.
Preaching to the choir, I agree. My manual crank window on my Honda had went out only once in over 20 years while I have seen multiple electrical fail. Don't get me wrong, I love the convenience of electric and would not rent a car without electric one push down windows haha :D but for a car I plan to keep forever manual windows along with manual transmission are my favs
SAME!
Same, manual cranks are not a big deal at all when you’re in a car you really enjoy driving
Plastic parts age and manual regulators can fail, I can buy a new electric regulator but not manual regulators - but maybe not ten years from now. Somebody needs to sell a kit for repairing manual regulators. There can't be much that breaks in these.
2022 here and every vehicle I've owned has had manual windows, 2000 neon, 95 dakota, 89 jeep, 74 plymouth and even my 2011 ranger has them. Currently fixing the Plymouth because the glass fell off the roller lol but I'll take it over and electrical failure any day
Great video! I need to fix the window in my driver's door, and this tells me pretty much everything I need to know. Thanks!
That's whatsup! Glad it helped and thanks for the feedback
thanks mate. Getting the towel between the washer was where I was going wrong. This helped me get the crank off.
Nice, glad the video helped and thanks for leaving feedback
Nice job explaining and showing what you did. Thanks
No problem, glad the video was clear to understand for you!
Very helpful. Thank you for making this video
Nice, glad it was helpful :)
I appreciate your mastery of the job and confidence.Kindly do a vedio for old-school car door latches and boot.
Thanks for the feedback on the video and I'll add that to my future video list! I actually have a car in mind I could perform that fix on
Great vid! Mojo! 👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks, and appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Love this! Thank you!!
No problem! Hope it was helpful for you and appreciate the feedback
Nice video man. Thank you
Thanks glad you found value in the video!
The background music is epic haha
Haha appreciate the music appreciation
Thank you for the video. My boss stated to cry because his window would not work. Big babe!
haha it's a gut check when you go to roll up the window and nothing happens. Never know how good you have it until cold air is blasted you in face lol. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts on video and hope the install goes well!
Hey Thanks. Nice video. You saved us a bunch of bucks.$$$ 😘
That's what I like to hear, saving money!
Great video simple easy explain love it ❤❤🤙🤙🤙
Glad it came across as simple and helpful! Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on the video :)
Thank you for a beyond helpful video!! So over all the talk too fast, annoying useless music in the background, and big gaps in the process. This video was perfect. Thank you so much. Please do all the tutorials on everything.
Haha, I plan to cover most items I run across in my life with a tutorial if it seems it will be helpful. Glad the tutorial was helpful and appreciate the feedback :)
thanks.....very helpful....bob
Thanks for taking time to comment, glad it was helpful!
Getiin some serious Charles Barkley vibes from my brother here.
Idk if that's a compliment, but I'll take what I can get haha
This is a great instructional video, thanks so much. Curious why these tend to jam up / get hard to crank like this, and eventually need replacement of the regulator. I have no foreign objects in the track. Is it just water gets into the regulator and corrodes it? Would greasing up entry points help any? Suggested grease or sealant? Regards,
I wondered the same when my window regulator first malfunctioned. I honestly think just elongation of cable from repeated use and possibly foreign debris intrusion somehow causes jams.
In my situation the hand crank manual window is stuck in the up position. I can’t turn the hand crank at all to lower to window so I can loosen the bolts where they attach to the window.🤔
In that case, I would just cut the cable linkage and allow the window to drop. I've had that happen in the past. Hope that helps!
Your awesome bro, man
Thanks! Hope the video was helpful enough
@@EngineeredMojo alot bro thanks
Nice choice of music!
Thanks, have to appreciate some of the classics!
1812 Overture, Tchaikovsky, ua-cam.com/video/u2W1Wi2U9sQ/v-deo.html
GOOD Vid! Dude! What do you think happened in my car window? I just tried to roll up the window, and something broke! the window won't roll up now!
Haha the dreaded window stuck in down position. Hopefully its warm and dry where you are. Mist likely your regulator has broken and needs replacement. I'd suggest to diagnose is to take the door panel off and take a look at what's going! on
Thanks! Bro! 👍🏻
Perfect explanation; thank you. Please tell me this; on my old truck, there is no run channel/guide. Does that matter? With the new regulator installed, will my glass still roll up and down inside of the door frame without a 'guide'?
My thought was to put a soft wedge in there to keep the glass from rattling. doable?
Thanks you so much!
Kevin
Hmm I've never come across that scenario. My belief is your window will go up and down but could tilt to either side easily and need to be shifted back from time to time.
@@EngineeredMojo
Yeah! thanks; I can work with that :) Guess I need to find a video on how to replace the run channel...that's not a cheap part at all.
Really appreciate your thoughts and taking the time to answer. You rock sir!
Epic background music :D
:) gotta enjoy the classics, calms me down a bit when confronting a car fix haha
I thought I was imagining that for a minute
Wonder ful thank you
Glad the video could be helpful!
thanks man
No problem, hope the video was helpful!
did you just get the window crank off without popping the clip off? if so, that is a pretty slick trick! i hope i can do that because i am scared of losing the clip on my 85 toyota tercel! i also like your calm way you explain things and that you treat your car with respect and not brutality, lol - also, i really appreciate the excellent camera work, especially on door handle removal but all of it is so good.
Appreciate the detailed feedback! Always good to know the video is well received and helpful. I had to pop the clip, but I used the flathead screwdriver trick in the video to get it off. Popping it back on is easy with clip in place, just pushes right back in. I do know some autoparts stores will sell generic hand crank clips for the unlucky ones who lose the clip haha, I speak from experience on another car.
nice video
Thanks!
Best fix : get aftermarket power windows
I'm going to haver to look into that when I decide to refresh the inside!
another way to get the clip out of the hand crank is to use a small towel. run it down behind the handle and gently move back and forth- the clip will pop out. Less chance of scratching or damaging things.
That's an awesome tip and I will use 😀 👍🏾 the tiny scratches are annoying
I need to see something for the 92 to 95 Civic hatchback,trying to align my window so it can roll up fully and I'm having trouble with it.
Philip Bahia I know I've seen a video for a hatch, I'm going to look around in my view history for you!
Engineered Mojo ok appreciate it cause I'm getting frustrated that my window doesn't"t roll down all the way.
Very good video. I have a similar car. The manual regulator is fine. What is the name of the part the glass sits in. This is broken for me and is separte from the reulayor. Thanks
That's a good question, not sure the official name. I'll do a bit of investigation!
Just fix mine thanks alot bro, another issue is why does my e brake light stay on??
Glad the video was helpful! And I have a video on that, at least fixing the e brake cables. Usually your light stays on because your brake fluid level is low in the resevoir or the sensor connected to hand brake is faulty
@@EngineeredMojo thanks bro I'm check it this weekend
Can I get the link
@@goodvibesonly1920 say no more. ua-cam.com/video/7ti7lxzss10/v-deo.html
Will these instructions work for my 1994 Honda Accord? Also, where do you suggest getting parts? Thanks!
It'll be very similar, same tools should apply and 10mm socket. The frame is a bit different for the accord but it's still a Honda sedan and/or coupe of same generation so it won't be too much different. I'd suggest either amazon or online retailer such as rock auto. Ebay also will have a selection of parts and it's easy to search. Hope that helps!
I have a question I did this but for some reason my window won’t go up and when it does it gets real hard to go up and comes of the track
I would loosen the mounting bolts and try to realign bracket / move window up and down to see if bracket was misaligned. If that doesn't help, the regulator may be faulty from manufacturer so I'd check that with it removed from car and try to rotate handle around a few times
Don't get what was supporting the window in place when u unscrewed the last bolt. Also dont get how u put the window in the slot or track?
I stuffed an old rag or t shirt in the top window gap to create friction to hold window up. And the window will just slide nicely right into place on the track when you bring it back down
Is there a link to the replacement part ?
If you type in your year car and window regulator, it should pop right up in amazon or ebay
Would this fix work on a 94 Honda Accord? (I'm assuming it would but I just want to make sure :) )
Should be really similar except for bolt locations
My manual roll up window doesn't like to stay up at all like you can get it to come down with putting your hand on window and pull it down, which makes it easy to break into any idea what I can do to fix the issue??
Have you changed the track assembly and regulator? Seems like the locking gearing is failing on you. Until you fix the window, you can always place rags, tshirt or something that can fit in between groove and window to cause friction if someone tries to push window down
@@EngineeredMojo I haven't done nothing to it it's done it since I got it and I figured there has to be something up with it because you shouldn't be able to just push the window down with your hand from the outside of the car or even in the inside of the car unless your using the handle like Normally but I'm just going to take off the door panel and see. Now you said there is some kind of door regulator or something??
Where did you get that part? Mine broke in my 99 Honda Civic.
I got that part off amazon, but it's also available on eBay. You can also get it from a local autoparts store, but it'll be a bit more expensive
Engineered Mojo
Thanks!
Can the rear regulator fit the front? My driver side window wont go up, so what im planning to do is to just switch the rear to the front.
And yes im talking about just the driver side, putting the rear once to the front. Sorry
@@06kylerick No problem I understood. You can try it, but I believe the mounting brackets are slightly different. If they are, you can possibly tap new mounting holes in the door if you really didn't want to buy another regulator. Hopefully they align. Given how easy it is to remove the door panel, I would take a look at your front door and just see if the mechanism is the same. If you remember, please report back with an update! Thanks!
I just checked and no they are not the same mechanism.
@@06kylerick appreciate you coming back to update the comment section. Good info for myself to reference in future and other viewers also. A few outlets sell the regulators. Amazon is an option, eBay, etc. Junkyard maybe cheapest option but higher chance of "early" failure given it's a used regulator
@@EngineeredMojo thank men
my manual window winder is hard to roll despite lubricating
The internal cabling could be tangled or stretched to a point behind repair. Is this a new unit or you lubricated an older regulator?
Where did you buy the replacement part?
Bought it from amazon
I broke the inside so I can't put the crank for my window to roll up or down. I don't no what it's called.
Hmm you could try using vice grips or channel locks to twist the crank from the inside if the handle has broken
I broke the part on door panel. I can't put the handle on it to turn. I want to buy that part. I just received the handle crank. Thanks anyway.
Hi Engineered Mojo; I’m a total no nothin about car parts; i have a problem with my dads car the rolly thing is kinda hard to roll can i fix it or should I get it replaced?
I wanna get some idea before try to fix it myself 😅
For sure you can fix it, most likely the coil inside is damaged or tangled but to be sure I'd remove the door panel and do an inspection to make sure it's not some sort of foreign material clogging your window track. Thatd be an easy fix if so
So apparently Honda can't get hand crank window rights because this is exactly the car I'm working on lol.
Haha Honda is a reliable brand overall but these window cranks do have a tendency to be a recurring issue
@@EngineeredMojo yeah the engine and trans in my car are great. Engine leaks a little but it's a 94 4 cylinder. Kinda happens from time to time. But every window but my driver's (thank God) is messed up. Now I know how to do it thanks to you and they'll be good this weekend
What sort of cup is going to fit in that "cup holder"? Roflmao 🤣
The kind that comes with it's own straw.
LOL my slip
I'm just too scared to mess up something. I would have to do it under supervision first. My son just broke it... I might not even have the right tools
If it's already broken can't mess it up too bad haha, worth a shot to try the fix!
Engineered Mojo, Hello Please help me out, I have a car (Plymouth, Laser 1993) the door and the regulator looks exactly like your video (Fix Your Manual Window Regulator | "Rolly" Hand Crank Fix | 92-00 Honda/Acura , Apr 15, 2018) My problem is I can't find manual regulator (all sites have power window for my car) but my windows are manual, can you help please (Thank you)
I just did a few quick searches myself with no luck. My next move would be to call local junk yards to see if they may have part, but your car is a bit rare so may have no luck. After that I would try to find if other year models, but same car, would work or work with a little modification!
@@EngineeredMojo Thank you very much, I really appreciate it, I'm trying on my own too(Ebay and other sites), we keep in touch.

What is that whole unit called?
Manual window regulator
Thanks!
Where can I buy this part
Many online retailers will have this part, rockauto, Amazon, etc
@@EngineeredMojo I’m looking for one for a 95 GL Mitsubishi Lancer having a hard time tho
@@Trebo-mb3ql oh yea that might be a tougher part to source. I'd come through car forums, maybe some one is doing a part out. Sometimes you can find a regulator that has bracket points that align with at least two bolt holes too which is typically good enough to hold in a window regulator
What name in shoope bro?
adakah kita bersaudara?!
@@EngineeredMojo yes bro
@@EngineeredMojo im from malaysia..please tell me,i need to buy🥺
@@EngineeredMojo im done subscribe you bro🥺
@Mhdshyxm_Official I figured bro, hope you are having a good day out there today!
I think when people ask you where you got it from they're asking for a link. Simply saying "Amazon" is like saying "the internet". Not extremely helpful.
Haha I say "amazon" for a legitimate reason. I used to be an Amazon affiliate partner, but for some reason they decided my channel wasn't popular enough to put affiliate links eventhough I met all their requirements. So I do not actively advertise for Amazon anymore, but not as stingy to not say that's the general location I bought product from.
