Re: How easy is it to fit a power window regulator?
I never opened a Honda door before, but I did on a 96 Mazda 626.
Removing the door cover is not difficult. The tricky part can be putting it
back so it will fit perfectly.
Also, there is some plastic foil inside the door and if you don't replace it
correctly, it will whistle while driving.
For the part, you could call some local scrap/junk yards. They might have
one and install it for you for cheap.
Or order the part and ask your local body shop how much they would charge
you to install it. They are used to striping the door and will take them a
half hour.
When my front fender got pushed in, I stopped at my local body shop. For
15$, within 30 minutes, the guy removed the front bumper and one headlight,
un-bent and repainted the fender support and replaced everything.
