I need some help from u guys.
My civic fd1 is having problems with the driver side power window.
When the window is fully down, it does not automatically go up 100% when i pull the switch once.
Anyone have the same problem?
It somehow goes back down abit as if something had blocked its way.

another thing i would like to ask, is there a possibility to change the radio panel indicator glass?
mine was scratched badly by sand particle when i sent my car for washing.
can the piece of glass be replaced?

thank you

For the window problem all you need is some silicone spray on the rubber grooves that sandwich the window. The window goes back down slightly due to the anti pinch feature built-in to prevent accidents with fingers or anything else that might obstruct the window on it's way up.

For your head unit problem I'm not hopeful that you can just get that small window part replaced. Better just get someone to try and sand it down just like how it is done with plastic headlamp housings.

The silicon spray won't last long. Once dry out or wash away, the problem will comeback.

Or you can apply yourself the silicon spray when problem come. Can buy at hardware shop anywhere. The famous is WD40.

Pls don't confuse WD40 with silicone lubricant. The former is an oil-based rust remover which is bad for the type of rubber used in window linings:

WD40 is primarily used to displace water hence its name "Water Displacement 40th attempt" and is not meant to be a lube of any kind. Silicone lubricant OTOH is meant to be used on rubber. One application will last a long time, apart from keeping the rubber linings soft.

Thanks for your guide. Do you have the brand recomend?

Anyway, I don't use wd40 on any of the plastic or rubber. Cause when dryout it collect dust.

I'm using this brand called Q-Plus or something like that. You can get it in Ace hardware. There are many brands out there, just make sure it is a silicone based lube. smile.gif

Need some time to let the engine run in. New engine consume more fuel which is normal no worries ! Enjoy your ride anyway and welcome on board !
