I was driving a long last week in my 1997 Acura 2.2cl that I just purchased last August 2002, with only 27,000 miles on it now with 47,000 miles and I went to put down my driver side automatic window and the window just fell into the door. This should no way happen to a car that has only 47,000 miles on it. I took it to an autobody shop and they said I needed a new "runner" and new cables in the door. Approximately a 200-250$ job which I shouldn't be paying for when my car is at such young mileage. I could see if I had to replace a belt or something like that with the engine, no problem, but a window, no way!
