Hi, i've got a 94' honda accord 2dr coupe. The left side window regulator keeps going out. I've replaced it with a junkyard one and it broke 4-5 months later. So i bought one of Ebay w/ a warrenty and that one lasted under 60days. They are going to send me a new one but i was wondering if there was a defect or possible i'm installing this wrong somehow?

Any ideas? thanks!

*Update* For those researching, i've bought 1 junk yard, 1 off ebay (+ i had to warrenty one of their products) and finally OEM.

Oem has worked for a year.

 

My ONLY guess woud to to keep everything oiled up nicely so it wont overwork and burn...

 

*rolls eyes, I shoulda just bought oem. I figured it was a simple enough unit to buy from aftermarket sellers.

 

yea I installed a few aftermarket replacements what a pita windows goes up and down slow and some stops when the glass touches the rubber and after messing with the last one for more then a hour noticed the track where the cables slide was not curved correctly and pitched the glass at a angle and the mounting holes for the glass didn't have the plastic to allow the glass to slide side to side to get it to work right I used the aftermarket motor & cable with the top and bottom guides put them on the old slide track and slider worked pretty good but can tell the motor had less power to move the window. and don't forget the check the run channel rubber for damage.

 

I got a brand new oem window regulator with motor for the driver side. I bought it for my 96 4dr ex but my problem wasn't the regulator again, it was the control unit went dead and couldnt go up once it was down.
If is the same I can sell it to u for whatever.

Is funny how the driver side is the only one that I had to replace.
