Window Troubleshooting
97 Civic LX 4 Door Front Driver Window (power)
The window was half way down and when I tried putting it up, I heard what might have been something hitting glass or possibly glass breaking and the window wouldn't move. I hear the motor moving up and down but the window is staying where it is. I can gently jiggle the window back and forth a bit and pull it up, but can't get it past about 2" from the top. With the window almost all the way up, there are no visible cracks.
Is it common for a motor attempting to open a window to crack it? When the broken glass sound occurred the window was on it's way up. The glass didn't drop at all- the motor just became obsolete.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Also, since it did sound a bit like broken glass, I'm looking into options for finding a replacement window. Anyone have good leads on inexpensive windows? Finding a 97 civic in a junkyard is close to impossible. I might be able to find a 96, 98-00 or maybe a 96-00 acura. Is there any way to find out if any of these years/brands share the same windows?
