Window Stuck Need Help!

[RHennin]

So this is how my day went today. Changed my oil and realized that the dealership that replaced my timing belt just so happened to break the a vacuum line that is a part of the cruise control. Go home, then as I'm going through a drive through my drivers side window desides to get stuck somehow. Looked as if it wasn't following the track and was somehow pushed to far towards the front of the car. As I tried to mess with it somehow it got worse. It looks as if it is mainly that it isn't tracking right and that when it comes up it is somehow on the other side of the small vertical piece of weatherstripping at the front portion of the window it gets stuck. I tried repeatidly to get it to go onto the other side of the weather stripping but to no avail. Seems as if I'm going to have to take the interior door panel off to push the stripping back in the door as well.

Does anyone have any help at all? Anything? Thanks

your window fell out of track. If this is the first time its happened welcomed to owning a late 90's civic. You have to take the door panal off and get it back on track. You probably have to take the 2 bolts out of the piece of glass to do this also. I cant remember because 2 summers worth of autoglass work tends to confuse me without actually sitting at the car working on it. Its not hard, but will prob. take you an hr or less if its your first time.

I had to do this to my car when I first bought it... I don't remember if I took the bolts out, or if I just loosened them to get it back on track.

Where are the bolts on the glass? I tried to pull back some of the plastic to see the glass more but i couldn't see the whole mechanism very well. Can you be a little more specific on how you got it back in the track. I'm guessing you unhooked the glass from the mechanism and then picked up the glass and somehow got it back inside the track...

I'll say this is frustrating as hell and it couldn't have happened at a worse time. I called the honda dealership and they said that they can do it friday but I'd rather try to do it myself. Sucks cuz I'm leaving my car pretty vulnerable and can't really go anywhere cuz of this.

If you've allready ripped the door panel off you should see two semi-large holes in the metal work on the door. Take a flashlight if you have to and look inside there.... You should be able to tell just by looking at it how to get it back in place.....

If not, loosen the bolts some, put it back to what seems normal, its fairly obvious if I remember correctly.... Try to raise it up, and if it doesn't quite work lower it back down and try again..... Its pretty much trial and error.... At least it was with me...
