How to Fix a 1998 Honda Civic Power Window Track

The power window track on your 1998 Honda Civic is used to guide your power windows up and down while preventing a sudden fall or an odd angle tilt. When this track is not functioning correctly, the direct result will be that your windows will not open and close properly. In order to alleviate this you will have to fix your power window track by reinserting the entire length of the window back into the power window track.

Remove all of the exposed screws on the door panel, around the door handle, and in the armrest using a Phillips head screwdriver.

Disconnect the wiring harness from the power window controls and remove the armrest and door handle.
