I've fixed my windows today. It ended being the switch and not the motor. Lucky it wasn't the motor because that would of been expensive to replace.

Nice you can finally go through maccas drive thru lol.

Motor is not all that expensive. It's about $100 from UK including shipping.

Guys, thought I'd share this.. being working on fix rattles from Door Trim.. if your EP3R have this then feel free to read on : )

You will need to remove your door trim to do so, follow this link as the video shows you how to do this: http://importtuningtv.powertvonline....l.php?mId=1111

Remember when pulling off the trim piece, work your way fron the bottom where there's a gap for you to slide your fingers in.. gentlying slide your fingers around to remove each of the clip, now be gentle so you don't break any plastic bits holding the clip..

This is what I used, a seal tape and table leg protectors from Bunnings..
Also I bought new clips from Honda Parts Australia, they are $5.10 each..

Now this is what the white clips look like that is located around the border on the door trim.. below image is an old one I pulled off, from time to time these plastic clips loose its tension and especially if you've being pulling these off many times to instal your speakers or such then these clips get looses its tension and will not clip hold tight enough..


You can see the clips are nice and firm and not crooked like old ones, now before you put them on.. I actually used seal tapes around maybe 3-4 rounds on the ring part where you will be putting back on your door trim.. by doing so its tighten up the clip to the plastic holder on your door trim(I did this with my old car before, so I know it works). Below images for your reference..


Your can see now the parts where its used to hold is not thicker, reason for using the seal tape its cos its soft and will absorb a bit of pressure..


Now also, when you pull off the door trim.. inside you will see some old cloth piece(mine was pretty much fallen off) I actually replaced all these cloth pieces with these table leg protectors. Comes in a big roll around $11 from Bunning.. now just need to cut these up into sizes and stick them on each part where the plastic touchs the metal..


Take your time and Good luck DIY fixing!

+rep to you sir.

EP3 is due for a general 85000km service. A mechanic wanted to charge more just cause hes never heard of the ep3 and its imported... what do you guys think of 999Automotive in Brisbane? They seem to be a known trader and distributor of many aftermarket parts, and deal with alot of performance and import cars... might give em a try?

What about sunroofs on ep3s?
