To install or remove the rear vent window on a 2001 Honda Civic you 1st have to take the rear door panel off.
To remove the rear door panel you need to un-screw the screws hidden underneath the plastic door pull. The screws are not in the arm rest. Now you can pry the perimeter door panel fasteners off. Once the door panel is off, look for 2 (Gold colored) bolts. Follow the rear vent window channel downward with your eyes and you will see them. They are about 1 foot apart from each other. Before you loosen the bolts put the window in the up position.
When you un-screw the lower bolt a long odd shaped washer is going to drop into the bottom of the door. Cut the plastic to get this washer. Your going to need it to re-install the vent channel. After you have the 2 bolts off follow the channel up this time all the way to the top of the door. Move the weatherstripping and you will see a small screw. Un-screw this screw and the channel will come out.
Now you can install or remove the vent window. The window tract is not really adjustable. Usually the regulator and/or cable go bad, and you need to replace the thing as a unit. / / / / / There are adjustment screws on the lift system on the dorr windows. They are located in two positions on the track.
You will have to remove inside door panel. Tward the rear of door there are two nuts on screws that have a hex broached into them.
Loosen nuts (14mm I think) turn set screw with hex key to achieve desired result. (I do not remember turning which way does what) You will have to hold the set screw with the hex key while re-tightening the nuts. This operation will adjust where the top of the glass makes contact with the rubber seal around the door opening.
Keep the pigtail plugged in the the window operation button. You can hang the door panel on the door the test you settings. Good Luck, Da Moo. Open the door you wish to adjust and look at the body part of the car to which where the door latch mechanism attaches. It is a silver slab that has a U shaped piece to it. This is the striker and you must adjust it to allow the door to close flush to the car again. It will require a torx screwdriver (it looks like a star), and I believe it is size T25.
Loosen both torx screws and reposition the striker a bit in, since the door is sticking out and you want to make the door flush. You can try putting on some Loc-Tite that basically hardens the screw into place so you won't have to do this again. Look behind the inside door release handle, remove the screw. Slide the entire release body forward, with reference to the car, and it should pull away from the panel. Remove the two screws on the periphery of the panel and after removing the bungs on the arm rest, remove the two previously conceal ed screws.
Using your finger tips, ease the bottom of the panel from the door, releasing the pop fasteners. When free lift the panel to free it from the window sill. The panel is now unsupported. Reach inside and depress the tang on the lifter connector, pull it free. Rotate the panel to a position where the release handle body can be manipulated through the hole and the panel will come away.
