Default 96 Civic passenger window issues

My Civic has this annoying problem of the glass seeming to come out of the rails whenever I try to lower or raise my window. Is there any way to fix this problem? I was debating on buying a whole new set of manual doors but I dont feel like wasting money if I can fix this for cheaper. Thanks.

My car is an EX by the way.

You can try "greasing," or softening the rubber liner around the window. I have heard of people using a specific solution that Honda dealers sell that you squirt into the slits of the rubber that makes the window slide more easily.

Its not necessarily the "greasing" part that is the problem. Its more like.. when I took off my panel to see what was going on, it doesnt look aligned to go up underneath the weather stripping thing. It's hard to explain.

I fix it so it looks good and fits perfectly. But as soon as I lower the window and raise it back up, its messed up again.

Thanks for the input though.

Is the tract in the front part of the window tightened? There are 2 screws/bolts that can be adjusted so that the front tract doesn't move. Perhaps this is the problem?

No, it's been a long time since I've had the door panel off. If you do take it off, you will know what I am talking about. If you follow the front window tract down, you will find the bolts.
