thats why i love manual windows lol.
I had to replace both manual regulator assemblies on my 96 because on the driver side the scissor was so bowed out from people trying to steal the car from the previous owner that the window would either tilt forward or pop out of the door when cranking it up and the passenger sides regulator had the welds on the tower plate that holds the crank gear in place break which caused the gear to misallign.... Both power and manual have their issues...

Yeah, I have manual windows and i've broken and replaced both rear regulators from either rolling them up to fast or rolling them up really tight.

Plus, when slowing down to pay tolls it's alot easier to push a button instead leaningdownto roll the window down. lol

I fixed it! It was so easy too. Found a link from someone on this site that gave detailed instructions with photographs on removing the panel.

The entire window fell off the track on one side actually... Had something to do with rolling the windows down in the rain I think because it works totally fine noe.

thank you!

I know this is an old old thread, but any chance you have the url to where you found those instructions from? I need to do the same thing to my 98 Civic ex.

Thanks

That happened to my windows on my 93 Civic too. The part is about $90 and can be DIY. Oh, by the way.... invest in an owners manual (I got a great one, direct from HONDA on Ebay)

If you are lucky, a careful inspection of the window regulator and channels might reveal that they are simply loose or misaligned.

Good luck.
Had the same issue today. Could not find the DIY, any link or instruction would be extremely helpful. Thanks!
