97 Accord: power window only lasts 4 years
I have a '97 Accord. The driver side power window died in 2001, so I had the
dealer fix it (so presumably they used genuine honda parts). Now it died again, so it seems like it only lasts for 4 years. What's up with that? |

I think that is your bad luck. Most doors last for the life of the car.
Why don't you go to a junkyard and get a door motor and replace it yourself. |

Sometimes lubricating the power window regulator components will eliminate the slow movement of the window in both the upwards and downwards directions. In many cases this is the problem--and not the power window regulator motor itself. Ron M. |

I'm going to test drive a '97 Accord tomorrow and may end up purchasing it for a second vehicle. I hope the '97 models were good ones overall. I like the body style of that generation Accord.
