ok so i guess my gf and i were messing around in my car and i think somehow my front passenger side window got messed up. i dunno if it was loose change that got stuck in there or if the window just got out of allignment because as of right now i managed to manually push it up with my hands. i've got power windows and the motor is making sounds but the window isn't moving. about half of my window is out of the rubber molding right now and this sucks because its cold as heck outside. what should i do to get the window back on allignment? i have my haynes here with me so i suppose i just need to take off the inner plastic mold and the handle. i dunno what to do from there or if there're steps i'm missing. i wouldn't imagine this would be too hard to do myself so i'm not even going to mess with mr. auto glass man.

Haha, use the backseats man, not the front seats with your gf!!
If you can take off the door panel, you'll notice the window has come off it's guide and/or off the window regulator.
Search here and you'll find a DIY on door panel removal and once you remove the plastic sheet that covers the inner door, you'll find out(see) exactly what is wrong with your window.

yeah well i got the door plastic stuff off but it looks like i'm going to ahve to get a professional to deal with the glass. i just need a realignment as far as i know. anybody have a rough estimate of how much that would run me up?

A pro?
Why did the glass break?
...i just did a regulator replacement on my drivers side.
Is the glass off the guide(s)?
if you can bring it down to bottom(the glass that is), you'll see through a small round peep hole if the glass is attached to the regulator, check and see if the bolt(10mm) is undone(hopefully it didnt shatter down by there). Undo one and you can realign it yourself.
It's easy, you may need two people, one to hold the glass later...
good luck & remember, back seat.

i dont think the glass broke my POS car does same thing there is stupid plastic clip. and it breaks then once you put your window up about half way it keeps going straight up and does go on track but if you push it down it will lock.. i know what you are talking about and i have no idea how to fix it. seems very difficult. to me it would problably be best to just take your entire door off and buy a new one..turbo h22 tein ridin Accord guy... from AccordT****.com

It might be your power window motor regulator goin bad you can get that on ebay for cheap or just let a car window specialist check it out.[Comment

yeah the thing is definitely off its guides and i can't push it down to get to the bolts so therefore i'm stuck

actually i went through a drive thru yesterday and when i tryed to put my window up it only went up half way. so i had to drive all the way home. i finally got it up by pushing my window button and pushing up on the glass. this is like the same thing that happened to my passenger window like 2 days before so im thinking obviously my windows aren't working properly. could this have something to do with my battery? i got the car 2 years ago but the records show my current battery was installed in september 2001. could that be the cause or could it just be because its so dang cold outside its forcing something not to work properly.

mine did that because of magnetic dust in the motors so I clean them out (aka taking the cover off and banging it on the ground) be careful if you do this because I spent half an hour trying to get the spring and bearing to match up in the motor again.Comment

window regulator replacement
i jsut got my driver front window regulator and motor and im gonna do it saturday whoo hoooComment

long story short
ok long story short i havent had time to do this window until now. full time job, full time student, full time dad, times hard to come by. but now as i was going out there to tackle this thing i had the realization. i cant think of a way to remove the glass with out the window going all the down. it stops like 1/5 the way down. any tips?Comment
-
yea its got to be your regulator, i changed my passenger and it was pretty easy. a few screws here and there and it comes right out, just make sure to tape the glass real good with masking tape onto the door so when you pull out the regulator the glass wont drop.

are there other access holes than the bottom of the door for the window connection screws on the regulator track? mine only goes down 1/5 of the way ............Comment

Sometimes the windows get caught (almost like it sticks, and doesn't slide) on the side seals which basically throws them off track.
My driver window does that in the front and all i have to do is lift the front of the window up a little and it rolls up fineComment
