This morning the confounded driver's power window popped out of the
window channel on my 94 Civic EX, in driving rain, of course. (Luckily
we weren't going far!) I got the door apart, silicone-sprayed the window
channel for a bit of lubrication and managed to pop the window back in,
only to have the window hitch crooked on the way up and pop back out.
The left side goes up a little faster than the right.

I looked a little closer and found that the window rocks side to side,
traced it a little further to the pivot point on the regulator where the
two arms cross each other. It appears to be spot welded, and it *looks*
like a couple of the spot welds have given way so that the two crossing
arms aren't solidly connected any longer, allowing the rocking and
thence the popping out of the channel.

Before I shell out $75 for a new regulator, just thought I'd check in
here for comments in case my diagnosis is off-target. I first throught I
might be able to simply screw a couple of sheet-metal screws in it in
place of the spot welds, but since I can't see around the backside of
the pivot point I'm not sure I'll be able to attach the screws without
freezing the pivot, which obviously won't do. Anyone tackle this before?
Any tricks or gotchas?

Also, the front passenger window gets very sluggish about halfway down.
Works fine sometimes. Haven't yet disassembled that one, but I'm
guessing it probably needs some grease at the various regulator joints.
Anything else I should look for?

TIA,

Abe
