Default windows wont go up.....

so i think i had to most miserable driving experience today, so i go to the airport to pick up one my friends flying in from las vegas. by the time i get to the airport the temperature outside is -8. after i pick him up i go to the toll booth to pay for my parking. naturally i roll down the window to give the toll booth guy the money, but little did i know that the window would not roll back up... my house is 45 minutes away from the airport and the window was stuck open blasting my face with -8 degree air the whole way back. the window rolls up about half way and stops, can anyone know how i can go about fixing this? or what is stopping my window from going up? any feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks

Spray some silicone lubricant down the window channels, Hondas are notorious for sticking windows

pull off the door panel and take a look inside. Get your hands dirty. Did you try pulling up on the window as you rolled them up?

Does the motor just stop, or do you hear a clicking sound? Will it go back down? Window could be off the track or the regulator may be a bit messed up. I agree with TurboLaxx you prolly need to pull the door panel and see whats up.

If the window was off track you would normally think the glass would slant a bit, just take off the panel and look at the window as you try it. My passenger side window went out last summer and i just replaced the motor and it works fine now.

Sound like it hopped of track, maybe a warped run channel just did some guys car like that today mater of fact. The only way to know is to get up rip the door panel off and take a look at it.
