Is this the regulator? If so are they hard to replace and where is a good place to get one?
I live in Phoenix, AZ.

Thanks

 

Yes that's the window regulator, mainly the gear drive for the motor is either hitting a stripped out section of the lift sissor gear section or the motor itself is loose and when at the top of the lift it comes away from the gears.... So yes replacing that will fix your problem, it's not hard to do, but it takes a bit of know how to make sure you put everything back right. On getting one I'd say since it's power I'd call the local dealership and see how much they want and then check ebay, when I replaced my manual units it cost me just as much locally to get them as the powered units off ebay would have been shipped (around 75 bucks) but I'd have to wait for them and then wire it all up...

A newbie who uses the search feature! YAY!!!

Glad you found what you were looking for

 

Job was successful!! The instructions where perfect. I bought the regulator with motor on Ebay for $60 bucks, and it took me 45 mins to put in. The Honda shop I go to wanted to charge me $450?? They must buy the OEM part and charge 2 hours labor.
