How To Replace A Window Run Channel ( 97 Honda Accord) – EricTheCarGuy
You would normally be doing this if you had an issue with wind noise or a problem with the window going up and down that did not involve the regular/motor assembly. This is pretty much the same procedure for doing a window motor/regulator assembly, there are just a couple of extra steps you take to remove the motor after removing the window.

Howzit eric. Do you have a video on how to replace the weather strip and window molding on a 1991-1993 integra. Help please bro
How do I replace window channel run and guides on 1992 dodge shadow es?
Eric, thank you so much! I've been followin your videos over the years and it's always helped me loads. Like the fact that you're into Hondas too. Much love all the way from Germany
I have a 96 Honda Accord. This is the best video that explains everything. I've never seen someone that's that good at guiding man. Props. Subscribed and liked.
Going to try
Would you happen to know if this method would work for a 2014 Chevrolet cruze??
Thank you, great video. Especially liked the silicone tips.
I know this an old video but it gives me a good direction on how to repair my vehicle. Thanks
Ebay has them all four of them for 100 bucks
These run channels still only available from Honda. Almost $100 each!
Eric! Informative video. I have to perform the same task. When my window is three quarters closed, during hot days, I get a squealing sound. The cause? There isn't any felt on the upper portion of the rubber channel stripping. Naturally, from the heat, the stripping expands. Luckily, I had did't have to shell out the 75.00 that Honda was charging. I found it on ebay.
I own a 1999 Honda Accord EX V6, 4 Door Sedan. I have a belt molding (Chrome platted strip with rubber that rests against the glass window) that needs to be replaced for the drivers side back window. I purchased a new one from my local Honda Dealer. I am not exactly sure how to remove the old one. I saw in your video, the Accord you worked on has the same belt molding. There are five blue clips, with fifth (yellow) clip being on the end. These clips fit into the opening right below the door frame, below the window.
My auto body guy says that the strip can be slid out. I debate that fact. So basically, I am getting a second opinion. 🙂
It's amazing how these videos still provide helpful reference. Reason being I just bought a Honda Accord of that year. Thanks YT and Eric
Can you do a video on a 1991 accord coupe on how to replace the window seal.
What's the next way you can make the window faster? The window motor sounded like it was out of gas.
Very good and helpful. Good tips.
I like magnetic tips for holding screws but I have resorted to using tape and even gum to hold fasteners. Thanks..
Dark. I couldn't see clearly
Is it the same procedure for a 2002 Honda Odyssey? I was hoping to avoid removing the glass, might be time to pay the body shop to do it for me.
Xx
I've pulled the front two panels numerous times.. I never thought about pulling the window control panel. I always fumbled with the panel and disconnected the plugs with one hand. Lol.. Thanks for making these videos.
Cost $160 for both shipped. Damn expensive little rubber strips!
Hey Eric, I just saw your video and it has built up my confidence in replacing the channel run in my 1999 Honda Accord EX V6 model. I thought that Honda would be the only ones to carry such a part. However, I saw the same item (possibly aftermarket) on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Door-Glass-Run-Channel-Flexible-Sweep-Felt-Seal-FR-L-for-ACCORD-Sedan-1998-2002/323453359884?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908103841%26meid%3D06528666dab54599b61aaefed2655bc4%26pid%3D100227%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D13%26mehot%3Dlo%26sd%3D323453359884%26itm%3D323453359884%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2053904&_trksid=p2053904.c100227.m3827
I was wondering if you had any comments towards aftermarket products. This would be my first purchasing an aftermarket product.. Normally, I am always purchasing parts from hondapartsunlimited.com.
Used this as reference for my EM1 and worked out great. Thanks.
I need that run channel BUT for a 1998 Honda Accord EX 2-doors. Any idea where can I get it? I have been very unsuccessful on Ebay (description was correct but what I received was not it and had to return it). Tried with Amazon and everybody has for a Sedan and I need for 2-doors.
Honda jazz 2003 window replaced. Thank you for saving me 300£ !!!!!!;)
Where can you get the run channel from? I can not find the one for my car nowhere
I have a 99 civic coupe i need to change that rubber seal to. Where can i get that seal from. And whats the name of it??
You are a very good teacher. Thank you for esplaining everything. Yes, the type o was on purpuss. And that one too. : P
What is that little plastic guide do, I don't see any significance of that thing?
Good vid. How much should something like this cost to fix? I think this is my 2014 Accords current problem.
Where I can order the seal?
Would this also be a potential cause moisture leaking into the car? I have a problem in my hyundai accent where frost forms on the inside of the windshield and I'm having trouble isolating the issue.
Edit: Last year I had to replace the exterior door handle, and in the process I did end up damaging the vapour barrier. Watching this just reminded me of that. I'm going to make an assumption here that piece of plastic covering the inside of the door is prevent moisture from entering the vehicle?
Very well describe,Thanks
That's the guy! Great job. I can probably take some courage and trie 🤔.
Great video. Will definitely go out and added some silicon paste to the channel. I would hoping your video would assist with how to prevent my driver and passenger doors would stop freezing in the winter. Could it be that the channel needs replacement or another culprit. Thanks.
Getting the bag of floppy rubber stripping from Honda sketched me out; "how the f*** am I gonna the this in?" Lube. Lots of lube lol. Great video, Erick. Less worried about my project for sure 😉
Thanks for the info
Pinch it, lube it up and guide it in. Got it
Would I just be able to clean and refresh the window run channel molding instead of replacing it?
Is it the same process for the 2 door version too?
hey sir im a follower of your videos i just like to ask is this window run channnel same as the honda civic esi 95 model?
Hey @EricTheCarGuy can you provide a link for the part you ordered?
Do you know the name of that piece specifically? I'm trying to replace it on a 2004 Corolla
