ok with that said … yes this will be crazy hard to do unless you have a donor car sitting right next to it… this is why i said could be easer to find doors with everything in it now and then all you need to do is wire in the harness under the dash and power it … the plugs will just replace the ones you have in there now ---

> [@IntegLS94](#): > > Paul spray some lubricant on the tracks of the windows. I used to have to do this to the integra atleast once a year. Good looks… but I’ve been on top of that. It’s always the passenger side that acts slow as fawk on the past 3 honda’s I’ve had… Weaker passenger side motor? ---

Original poster: Like mentioned before, it will be a lot easier to source a doner for the whole setup and obviously it will have the harnesses. I believe we have a setup for the passenger side here at the shop. And all the driver side wiring minus the window and motor. You’ll have to call and talk to Paul to see if he wants to get rid of the passenger side stuff, but I’m sure he’ll dump the driver side (whats left of it) stuff. Everyone else complaining about honda windows. The design is kinda crappy on these. I usually lube (remove door skin and spray away with silicon or some other lube) always just before winter hits. I also usually take the time to adjust the track as well. I’ve noticed much better results by shimming one of the lower track bolts with a few washers and getting a longer bolt from the hardware store. It’s really just a matter of seeing where it’s binding and using your brain to figure out what would make it work better. ---
