Integra 91 Drive'rs side windows motor

Aug 13, 2006 2 Replies

The window's electric motor on the driver's side stopped working. I have removed the glass and the motor (not a simple job) and now I see that a piece of rubber, probably used as a clutch,located inside of the motor assembly, is in several pieces. Today is Saturday and the dealer is closed for the weekend but, I am sure they will not supply, only, that piece of rubber. He will sell only the complete assembly for a few hundreds of dollars.



Shell I surrender, or just bypass the clutch mechanism and make a solid connection? I know that I must be carefully and stop the power to the motor at the end of the travel or I may burn the motor.



Opinions please.

I have now a better idea of what that large (2" diameter) piece of rubber is for. It's to absorb vibrations between the motor and the window. Not a clutch.

I had a friend that use to say that old things don't last very long. He died. He was old.
