07 Civic Sport Driver window.

[MKI4EVA]

Ok, looks like same issue is unfolding again for us with the driver side window.

It likes to play "you can't close me".........This happend with our last 06 sport as well.

not a big issue as dealers are aware of it and it's easily fixed but its disappointing and annoying.


1800km on the clock.

happens to all civic models 06 onwards...

i'm sure JDM civic won't have this kind of problem... japs always leave the best for their own.. sigh... i wish our civics are JDM

Does it only happen when you use the auto window up function? Or does it also happen when you hold the switch at the "up" position but not at the auto position?

Are your cars tinted?

[Baopham]

its because the window bailey channels arent lubed properly from factory, and should only happen on the "auto" function. its like blocking the window, for instance, if a hand gets caught in while going up in "auto", the window will automatically go down. same thing here, since the channel isnt lubed properly, it causes friction and the window thinks something is blocking it. but when u use the "up" option, u will see the window slow down alot becuase it is restricted from the channel..

in most cases, we just lube up the channels for it to work properly again, and then order a new bailey channel rubber under warranty as the old one may be damaged/peirced/cracked due to the window going up it roughly and what not.

VERY common problem man, honda knows about it which is why they now have a revised door glass which is thinner.
all it takes is replacement of the glass and the bailey channel and it's as good as new.

it doesn't take long but if your window has been tinted the new one will obviously need to be tinted. if you got your car tinted on delivery just get them to do it on the same day, if you got it elsewhere i guess you'd have to ask your dealer about whether warranty should cover it... i dont really see why not, after all you are a relatively new customer so they'd wanna keep you happy

[destrukshn]

if he got it tinted himself, i reckon they should pay for the new tinting, as it was not his fault that the window gets ****ed. lol.

[panda[cRx]]

yeah i think they would, i just don't want some random from here going into his dealer saying i told him they would cover it under warranty lol.
plus all the tinted windows we've had come back at our dealer with the problem were tinted by us (well the people we use)

[MKI4EVA]

holly crap so it's a new piece of glass as well? wow.

[Jazzle]

i thought mki4eva just got his car brand new this year????? and the 'new thin' windows aren't installed in his car?

and i was having a thought that all these building problems with the civic may not be really problems with just thailand made cars... no one here has owned a jdm civic so we dont know if they're having the same problems with their cars.. apparently 8th gen civic owners from malaysia and singapore (think singapore civics are jdm??) also get lotta building issue problems

[SupremeKK]

new glass again? this time covers all models or sports only???

hope mine gets changed.

[gerard]

Any one wih '07 civics having this issue?

[MKI4EVA]

Yups ours is 07 sports.........problem detected on Sat at car wash......got just over 1900km on car.

It's not a big issue if you fix it straight away but if you leave it it becomes very annoying.

problem will be fixed on thursday.
