All 4 windows go up and down but the back 2 run slow and do not go all the way up to seal,they lack about 1/4 inch and stop.

 

you can try lubing the tracks first with some wd-40... but you might have window regulators issues ,,

 

The best idea is to buy a special grease from Honda made for this issue. Go to yoru dealer and tell them you want this grease. I cannot remember what it is called but you just roll your window down and fill your weather sealing with it, then roll the window up and down a couple of times for the grease to work it's way in. The dealership does have this stuff.

 

It's called ShinEtsu grease. It works wonders. I had two del sol's and i would use it to stop the leaking on the roof seals. also works great on window run channels.

The p/n is 08798-9013.

Also would be a good idea to get a can of oem silicone spray (p/n 08209-0001)
for touch ups after u run out of grease.

 

Will the grease make these windows go completely up to the seal or do you know if there are adjustments for that.I bought this car used and when I went to vacuum under the rear seat I found a lot of broken glass.I'm not sure if was from the doors or the back windshield.If it was the doors,are they automatically adjusted when they're replaced since they are power windows?

 

When the "not all the way up" thing happened to my 92 Accord I simply drilled three more holes, and raised the regulator. The window would not go all the way down anymore, but it saved me some money. I hardly used the rear windows and didn't want to spend $150-$200 for new regulator. Just an idea, if you want to try it.

 

Suzie67 Dear, What year Accord? Later year Accords will use a cable drive windows. (Like early Miatas) The guys are right about the channel rus as they will cause the windows to drag. Non cable regulators can be adjusted to improve performance.

 

That Shinetsu grease is what I was talking about. Please try it before you go drilling holes in your door.

 

It's a 91 Accord Lx.Manufacture date on door is May 91.American made model

 

let me say it 1 more time.............you need window rgulators,, there is a little plastic guide cable piece on top of regulator that brakes when that happens it misroutes the cables ,, thus it will keep the window from closing all the way..
it will stay open 1/4 to 3/4 inch from top..

 

And you can solve this problem by drilling holes, and raising the regulator. Measure the gap when the window is all the way up now, add 1/4" to make sure the window will seal at the top. Drill three matching holes that measurement higher, and bolt the regulator to those. It's pretty easy really, and if you don't like it, or it just doesn't work for you, you can always go back to the original holes with a new regulator. The window will not go all the way down with the regulator raised, but if that's ok with you go for it. Good luck, on whatever you decide.

that is exactly what i have done to a few of my customers ,, it works good ...

 

It was something I decided to try, as a temporary fix, till I got a new regulator (didn't want it to rain in my car). But after I did it, I figured why spend $150 -$200, or more just so the window will go all the way down into the door. Heck, my 03 Accord rear window doesn't even come close to going all the way into the door. I'm all for saving money, especially when it's mine, LOL. Happy Hondaing

 

The fact that they run slow leads me to believe the channels are just dragging. I would try the easy fix first.

 

Even if you stop the window from dragging, it will not go all the way up.

 

That is completely true IF the regulator is the problem. Having too much drag CAN cause the windows to stop before completing their path which may make you think it is the regulator. But the regulator is not the only cause for this problem. Again, too much drag CAN cause this problem.

I know this for a fact. I had the same problem.

 

When you get the Shin-Etzu grease, use Q-tips to apply it liberally into the channels. You'll be getting a tube about the size of a small tube of toothpaste for ~ $15 so you'll have lots of it. But before putting it in, try cleaning the channels first with more q-tips and water (maybe with a little soap).

Even if it does turn out to be the regulators, it'll be good to have the Shin-Etzu grease which is an industrial strength silicone grease from Japan. Be sure to take in the part number given above, just in case the parts guy doesn't know what it is off of the top of his head.
