problem #1

Civic

  • 4,000 miles
Front driver window came out of plastic window channel (seal) during closing and would not seal properly. Temporary fix: Could manually push/pull window into channel during closing, but watch your fingers! occurred at approximately 6000km. I believe root cause was faulty switch which didn't provide signal to window motor to stop if window closed. After window closed, if button activated, could hear motor still pushing window glass up. Eventually, this would cause window glass to damage channel (seal) dealer replaced window regulator, seal and glass under warranty.
