The windows even up/down faster.

Get the service done.. free under warranty.
What is the TSB number? Is there any way you can find out and let us know. A scan sent to HondaGal would be helpful too.

We'd appreciate it if possible.

I plan to get mine done when I take the car in for the Spark Plug TSB.

The BIG question is for those people that will be out of warranty: Will Honda continue to replace the regulators (especially for those who've had the regulators replaced multiple times) knowing that there is a problem with the basic design, or will they say "tough, it's out of warranty".

I'll search through the posts to find the TSB. Your Honda dealer shouldn't give you any problems. In fact if they do just call AHM and they will give you the TSB.

I believe I learned about it in "Under the Hood" or here in "S2000 Talk"

I''ll do a search.. feel free to PM me.

TSBs that fix a problem on a car that is out of warranty are the dealer's option. They can consider doing it at no cost for "Goodwill". Be reasonable and they'll likely do it.

Well, at ~3600 miles my driver's side window has started acting up, too ... I would say more often than not. Looks like I'm going to have to get this fixed with my first oil change!

In another thread, someone suggested to roll the window down/up fully three times and that it would "fix" the problem. Well, I did that and sure enough the problem went away...for about five minutes. The new symptom that the window exhibits is the first time you push the "auto-down", the window only goes down 1-2 inches. The second time you push the "auto-down", the window goes down all the way. Before, the window would only go down 1-2 inches each time the "auto-down" was pushed.

No problem yet at 4200 miles. car is 18 months old. However, my integra has the problem as well as the old '86 accord I had. Integra stopped working at about 40k. It worked off and on for 5-10k prior but then just quit. It only has 60k on it now. Stopped working all-together just after the warranty ran out. Hey, at least it still goes up and down. Maybe Honda needs to get a new supplier for these parts.

Well, so far my drivers side window is working fine, but my passengar window went all the way down when I put my top down, but does not come up. I tried both the drivers side control, and the passengar side control.

Do you think that this is the same problem as the drivers side window?
