The rear window of my 1991 Accord LX stops about an 1/8 of an inch shy of fully seating into the top seal when closing. It has electric windows. I had this problem before and chose to force the window up (2 people) and LEAVE it up. A mishap forced me to have the regulator replaced. It still stops short and indications from the switch, it is because it is at it's limit. Is there any adjustment that can be made to give the window a little more upward motion? Is there some type of limit switch that I am overlooking?

 

Take the door panel off and operate the window with out the panel on and watch to make sure the motor arm isnt getting caught or stuck and where

 

also llook to see if its slippin off the track!!

 

3 things to look for:

1. Make sure where the window actuator is bolted, it is bolted to the correct position and the bolts are not loose.

2. Look for clearance with the motor arm by going through the up/down process and the door panel off.

3. See if there is an issue with the weather stripping on the window. Make sure it is seated correctly and that it isn't binding with the window.

 

And while you have the cover off spray in some silicone lubricant in the tracks and this will also ease window operation (repeat other windows as needed).

 

You Need a new window regulator/motor. I Have a 1991 Accord EX and I had the same problems with my rear windows. I had to replace both of the regulators but now they close.
