Hello NSXPrime members!
This is actually my very first post in this Forum, I decided it was about time for me to give some contribution to this great community, so here it goes, hope you'll appreciate it and find it useful! :wink:
As I could check in so many topics, everyone seems to have slow windows and my NSX was no exception.
Like many others I removed the window tracks, cleaned everything with fuel and even lubed every part with a special nylon green grease extra resistant to water(usually used in boats), put everything back in place, even adjusted the windows...and they turned out to be just as slow as before!! I simply didn't notice any improvement at all, that was a real frustration considering all the messy work I had and all the time it took me.
So I decided to go further and focussed this time on the regulators to understand the problem![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I found that the NSX was in fact the first Honda car to have "cable type" regulators, until then all Honda had "scissors type" ones, like the 3rd gen Prelude for example, so no wonder that this "beta version 1.0 device" could be a source of defects!
I suppose in 1990 at Honda's they were so busy with the VTEC system that no one really cared about the windows :biggrin:
Nowadays all hondas have cable regulators, so I got the idea to check what sort of evolution they got along the years to apply it to the NSX!
Like Doc said in Back to The Future "The way I see it, if you're gonna build something why not do it with some style", so I took an S2000 regulator and started my study from there.
I am sure that when Mr Honda had his vision of the S2000 for honda's 50years anniversary first thing he told was: "and I want fast windows this time, not the slow ones like 10years ago for the NSX" (...in Japanese of course :biggrin:
So here are the 2 regulators, the S2000 on the left and the NSX on the right, both driver side.
