Requiem for a machine bolt: DC Integra owners take note...
Normally, I love the meticulous craftsmanship and intricate engineering the Japanese bring to the craft of building an automobile.
However, when engineers design a window retaining system where the slider is held in solely by a machine bolt with a perfectly smooth head, you would expect adhesive to be applied so that the bolt will stay threaded to the slider.
Sadly, this is not the case.
So to my DC driving brethren, let my tale of woe serve as a warning.
Inspect the pin that holds the top corner of your side windows against the sash.
The god damned thing will fall off at speed, leaving you with no choice but to cough up $40 for a new slider assembly.

:db: Like I have a choice in the matter.
If the 101 is moving at all, it's a lawless free-for-all out there.

Don't have a good one on hand; I'll take a few as I make the repair this week.

I'm talking about the guide pin at the top corner of driver's side window nearest to the B-pillar. Only the head of the bolt is visible from the outside; it's attached to a guide bracket that runs up and down inside a channel within the door frame.

is this the piece that tends to always be missing on CRXs and EFs?
