REMOVAL/INSTALL OF WINDOW REGULATOR (740-737)Honda Civic 1996–2000

General Tech Tips:

• Use painter’s tape rather than duct tape to secure window. It’s less likely to damage paint or leave

sticky residue.

• A plastic pry tool is useful. It will not easily damage delicate trim like a screwdriver or metal pry bar.

• The replacement regulator should have a liberal amount of grease on slide area. If there is not much grease

present, white lithium grease works well to lubricate the slide area.

• Aftermarket window tinting can cause the window to travel slower and put additional strain on the window

regulator assembly.

• Window run channels should be cleaned and lubricated before installation of a new window regulator

assembly. Silicone spray works well.

PLEASE WEARSAFETY GLASSES!Tools required for removal and

installation of window regulator and

motor assembly:

• Silicone spray lubricant

• Trim panel removal tool

• Pick

• Saddle cup assembly, tape, or wedge

to hold window in place

• Flat-blade screwdriver or plastic pry

tool

• 10mm socket or driver

• Phillips screwdriver
