Hey guys, I have a MY02 and have had this problem for the last 6 months and have been waiting for a solution. i didn't want honda to fix this until a permanent and final solution was found and i didn't want some 17 yo to take apart and put back my door. anyways I was out test driving a 03 RSX and mentioned something to the salesman about this problem and asked him about it. he said yea its simple the window needs to be reset. To do this
The car has to be started!!
1. push and and hold the window button down all the way until its completly down.
2. when its completely down, let go and push it down again and hold for 2 to 3 seconds. then let go
3. now pull and roll the window up until its all the way up.
4. when its up let go
5. pull the button up again for 2 to 3 seconds.
(after step 2, he said you should be able to hear or feel the motor or something inside reset.)
6. now then your autoscroll should work correctly. Mine does now.
I think wat the problem is that most of use the little tube thingy to put inside the back rear window to prevent the window from wrinkling, and in the process of putting it down we stop the top halfway. then as we finish putting the top down something in the window mechanism screwsup and has to be resetted. I hope that this technique helps out other S2K owners, if it does I can post this the section of this website that is the frequently asked ?'s. Let me know if this solution does the trick. I was told by my honda dealer that the actuator or something like that was broken inside. now after this simple easy fix I thinks its BS. Post and let me know if this works. It did for me. Good Luck!!!

XaznX, thanks for the info, I'll give it a try and let you know if I get it to reset.
Meanwhile, I'll probably be ordering the "one-touch" up/down module from emc2, he says he still has some and they are only $25 each.

Holy sh$t it worked for me too!!! I went from the one touch not working at all (I could depress the button 10 times and the window would not retract) to working 12 out of 12 times tried.
XaznX, thanks a bunch for posting that, you just saved my a bunch of trouble.
I don't know if I can edit the poll to add Xaznx's fix but this has been a GREAT thread on this topic.

Hmm, I wonder if my obsessive/compulsive habits forced me to try this fix without even knowing it months ago??? I think I do tend to put the window all the way up and then let go of the switch, then give it one more little nudge "just to be sure". I can't say I've ever really done both the up and the down at the same time, though.
