A-Premium Manual Front Driver-Side Window Regulator for Honda Civic 1996–2000 — Direct OE-Style Fit, Reinforced Construction

A-Premium's manual front driver-side window regulator is a direct OE-style replacement designed to restore smooth, reliable manual window operation in 1996–2000 Honda Civic two-door models.

If your driver's-side window is sticking, slipping, or no longer cranking up and down, this manually operated regulator is built to match the original equipment fit and function for 2-door Civic coupe and hatchback models from 1996 through 2000. Precision-manufactured components and factory-style mounting points make installation straightforward, while the included reference numbers (72250S00003, 740-196) help confirm compatibility.

How does this regulator match the original part?

This unit is designed as an OE replacement, replicating the shape, mounting locations, and mechanical action of the factory regulator so it installs with minimal modification. The regulator uses the same manual crank interface and mounting pattern found on the original part.

• Direct-fit design for front left/driver-side installation
• Manual crank mechanism — not compatible with power window systems
• Meets factory reference numbers 72250S00003 and 740-196
• Precision-drilled mounting holes for easy alignment

What are the key durability and performance features?

Durability is addressed through reinforced pivot points and corrosion-resistant finishes so the regulator keeps performing under regular use. Components are engineered to reduce play and maintain smoother cranking for longer service life.

• Sturdy metal construction at load-bearing areas
• Corrosion-resistant coating for improved longevity
• Reinforced cable and gear engagement for reliable operation
• Quality control testing to ensure consistent motion

How difficult is installation and what will I need?

Installation is suitable for a DIYer with basic hand tools and moderate mechanical ability; it uses the same bolt pattern and attachment points as the OEM component. Expect to remove the door panel, unbolt the old regulator, and transfer or reconnect the crank hardware.

• Required tools: socket set, screwdrivers, panel pry tool
• No special calibration required—align and bolt into factory locations
• Typical install time: 45–90 minutes depending on experience
• Not compatible with electric/power window motors or switches

Will this fit my car—what models are supported?

This regulator specifically fits Honda Civic coupe and hatchback two-door models built from 1996 through 2000. It is for the front left (driver) side and is the manual crank version rather than the powered variant.

• Vehicle fitment: Honda Civic 1996–2000 Coupe/Hatchback — 2-door
• Position: Front left (driver side)
• Type: Manual window regulator (not for power windows)
• Reference numbers: 72250S00003, 740-196 for cross-checking
