*Looks around* Wow! I havn't been in here for a long time!

Anyway . . .

Car:
1990 Honda Accord EX. Power Windows.

Problem:

I have had this problem for some time now and am just out of ideas as to what I need to do to fix it. I have already changed out the driver side motor due to other problems, but this problem still persists.

You know the black rubber weather stripping on your door? Runs along the length on the top part of your door. Yeah . . . Every single time I roll my driver side and passenger side window down, the stripping will catch the window as it goes down and will cause the operation to slow or stop. I either have to help the window down by pressing on it, or I just roll it up about in inch to where the stripping pops back out and then continue to roll it down some more before the stripping catches it again.

My car is old and I only use it for daily driving, but I do what I can to keep her in pristine condition. She;s taken care of me all these years, so I will do the same to her.

Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in adavance.

 

try spraying some lithium grease or another form of lubricant down the seal where it makes contact with the window

 

replace the window run channel they get sticky/dry after a decade of rain,sun,snow.

 

I personally use silicon lubricant sprayed on a qtip then run the qtip several times along that track then roll up the window then down then repeat with the lube .

Also you can remove your door panel and spray silicon lubricant in the track of the runners.

It helps to have your windows clean to prevent dirt/build up. Its always a problem with 4th and 5th gen accords.

A good article about silicon lubricant: http://www.naturalhandyman.com....shtm

 

The Honda dealer has a product called "Shinitsu" grease. It is a silicone based grease that absorbs into the run channel. 1 tube is a lifetime supply, you just use a little smear on a screwdriver tip and rub it in the run channel.
The 90-93s had an issue with the run channel working upward in the front by the mirror, when I replace them I use weaterstrip adhesive on the bottom few inches, to keep that from happening.
