Great video showing how to access and replace the regulator. However, based on my experience, you ALSO HAVE TO FIX THE ROOT CAUSE of the problem that caused the regulator to fail. If not, the new regulator may prematurely fail after one year... My 97 Civic is over 23 years old. In my case, I additionally had to PARTIALLY REMOVE the rubber window "run channel" (I only removed the left and right "sides" of the channel), CLEAN THE CHANNELS of accumulated dirt (I used cotton swabs soaked in "Goo Gone" but I guess soapy water would work as well). In addition, it was easy to completely REMOVE THE WINDOW from the door. Once removed, it was important to thoroughly CLEAN THE FRONT AND BACK EDGES of the window. Finally, I read that the "run channel" should be LUBRICATED WITH SILICONE GREASE. In particular, I read that Honda's Shin-Etsu Silicone Grease, part @-9013 should be used to lubricate the channels. My local Honda dealer price-matched another dealer's price; I paid $18.15 for one tube. Since I had gone through two regulators, each lasting only about one year, I GENEROUSLY GREASED the channel AND both sides of the window's left and right edges BEFORE REINSTALLING THE WINDOW. After re-assembly, the window moved up and down without any hesitancy. In comparison, the other windows moved much slower - so, I will do preventive maintenance for the other windows by removing the windows, and thoroughly cleaning the window edges AND run channel. Cleaning removes the accumulated dirt, which allows the window to move freely, and reduces the load on the window regulator motor and assembly. Hopefully, reducing the load on the regulator will prevent the regulator from failing again.
Brother I need your advice and brilliant ideas PLEASE my bro. I'm Michael in England by the way brother and own a 2000 Honda Civic EJ9 Hatchback but right hand drive for the Japanese Market. So unknowingly I've only gone and ordered a Dorman 741-736 window regulator which is for a USDM Honda Civic's (Passenger side) so have just discovered that the regulators motor electrical plug is a 2 pin whereas on my UKDM Civic (Driver side) it's a 4 pin plug. So basically regulator and motor would fit as it's for the right side door, just theres 2 wires and a 2 pin plug instead of 4 wires and a 4 pin plug to connect to my UKDM wiring as my civic is right hand drive and regulators are reversal compared to left hand drives. Any ideas to work round this bro? Damn totally my fault I should've known plugs would be different being that RHD - UKDM and LHD- USDM, Totally my fault 🤦🏼🤣 Your advice and ideas would be greatly appreciated please brother, Kind regards Michael in England
right now i'm in the process of finding what's wrong with my driver's side window also. cguro hanapin ko muna since meron na ko konti experience sa troubleshooting ng regulator (e.q. carbon brush contact, armature cleaning). Salamat Sir at nakita ko paano baklasin at ibalik ang power window regulator assembly. Keep it up. GOD BLESS
got good news for u. i was able to my power window which is exactly the same one that u replaced. don't throw away ur old one i can try to fix it for u so u can have a reserve in case ur new one malfunctioned. GOD BLESS

Great video keep it up Sir. Put some silicone spray it will help a lot.
Thanks sir. Hindi pa nga nasundan itong DIY series. Nakakalimutan ko ivideo pag may ginagawa ako.
BTW, san part ko dapat i-spray yung silicone spray?
right now i'm in the process of finding what's wrong with my driver's side window also. cguro hanapin ko muna since meron na ko konti experience sa troubleshooting ng regulator (e.q. carbon brush contact, armature cleaning). Salamat Sir at nakita ko paano baklasin at ibalik ang power window regulator assembly. Keep it up. GOD BLESS
