When I got a new regulator for my Civic, the window rolled up fast as bojangles.

It was 50 beans from hondaautomotiveparts.com

i bought my si off the lot and i had the same problem... its been that way for almost three years now but it doesn't bother me.

my Si has the EXACT SAME problem, the passenger side rolls up slower I took off the interior panel and lubed it up slipprier than.... well it slippery, and works alot better
BTW, I am glad it wasn't just me with this problem. Isn't it funny how something will really bother you, but if you find out that everyone else has the same problem, you don't care has much???

Same problem here with my coupe. I havn't found any lube that stays for more than a couple of weeks.

Any recommendations? It's seriously annoying.

The black rubber part that the glass rolls along. It dries out.
You can get silicone spray from a auto store.

The Si has power windows? Sorry I'm a super n00b. Getting my del Sol in about 2 weeks here... Going to look at it tomorrow. Just a quick question. I take it only the Si has power windows? What's lower than the Si?

it only bothers me cause when the alarm arms itsself now the windows will roll up and sometimes the passenger one goes really slow and stops before its supposed to.. im gonna get some type of grease or lube to fix it.. how would i tell if the motor does need to be replaced or not?

ViZ

replace the rubber because over time it gets gunked and hard and stuff making it drag on the window so that can help but if its been holding it back for a while the motor under that stress might need replacing

I took it to honda dealer they put new tracks on and problem went away for about 5 months then it came back and i just sprayed lub on tracks all the way down i mean like the other guy said supper slippery and they its been good for about 3 months....i figure i can lub it everyone once in a while make sure to clean windows good after you roll them up and down a bit because lub will get a bit on windows. well thats my advice I hope it helps i would try regulator thing too it sounds like my next investment after suspension.

My window had the same problem too.After reading this post I went to go buy "pyroil silcone lub" and put it into the track.Now my window works like a charm.Use this stuff for your slow windows, Pyroil Silcone Lub.

Mrfirefox

well If you wanna get technically for 5th Gen Civic's EX and SI are the same except the SI is a hatch and the EX a coupe, but yes that is the order for the current Gen of Civic's

where did you buy this pyroil silicone lub from?? do i need to get it from an auto parts store or will a place like home depot or lowes have it?? thanks

bLuEciVicGuY

I got the lub at my local auto store.

Or the snail shell-shaped helper spring may have come loose. You'll have to take apart the door and take out the regulator to put that piece back in.

ok thanks everyone.. im gonna go hunting for this sylicone on tues and hopefully get it fixed asap.. why does it seem like it goes a lot slower at night time?? it it cause its colder?? it doesnt make sensse

My windows do that **** too. Drives me crazy! My passenger one goes so slow I almost don't even think it is going to go up!

TurboBumblBee

TTT

where the hell do i find this pyroil silcone lube at??? what kind of store will carry it, called around and most people tell me to just buy a new motor but i know it can be fixed cause it gets worse at night time for some reason, a dead motor would mean it would do it all the time day or night..

bLuEciVicGuY

Try goin to your KRAGEN store.Thats where I got mine.

TurboBumblBee

bLuEciVicGuY
