Default Driver's side door window trouble.

Yesterday when I rolled up my window, it popped outta place and won't go up all the way anymore. I wasn't suprised when it happened because it hasn't been sounding smooth when I roll it up and down. Is this something I should bring to a shop to fix, or is there a tutorial on how to fix it?

Thanks,

RYAN

Honestly,

The 1gen is a pain to re-align the driver and passenger window. When you remove the door panel, you have a limited space to put your hands in to align and re-tighten. You may need a new bolt as they bend easy. You will also need two people to do it right. One person to hold the glass steady and one to tighten the track bolt. This happened to me after my tint. I think the installer was rough with the window and caused my issue. Nonetheless, can be fixed.

^^^It happened to me on my 93 accord. took it to a shop and had them replace the runner guide. Its the part that guides the window up and down. that might also be bent.

Brian231 is right. You will need 2 peeps
