honda door regulator

On my 91 Accord, it is about a 2-3 hour job. That includes the time
to remove the interior upholstery, take out the glass/old regulator,
install the new regulator, install glass, make minor trim/adjustments,
and then put back the upholstery.

Seems like it took about the same amount of time on my 94
Corolla DX also.

In general, it shouldn't be that difficult of an operation, but as in
all things, YMMV.

 

how hard is it to install a door regulator?? The shop said it would run
about 400.00 installed

 

Stoopid question time, what the hell is a door regulator? (And no doorman
jokes please.)

 

It is actually a window regulator. It is the mechanism that makes a window
go up and down.

 

excuse meee,I meant a window regulator

 

I'da still axed. Now if you'd sed window motor I'da hada clue.

About the same amount of time on the '91 Integra as well.

The hardest part was undoing the electrical connector from the door to the
pillar without breaking it. It's not obvious how that thing comes apart.

And since you're going to have the glass out anyway, that's an excellent
time to replace the plastic glass guides on cars with frameless
windows.They're cheap and they fall off all the time, so your windows
rattle when you shut the door with the window open.

 

If you can get a helper, they can hold the glass in place in the closed position
while you remove the regulator so you don't have to take the window out.

 

You can also use duct tape to hold the window up, (either over the top
frame if the door has one or the whole length of where the window/door
skin mate ont the exterior or interior.
