Slow power window

Anyone ever deal with a slow power window? My beater car has one window that barely goes up.

Besides a CL-S, I have a 92 Accord EX 5-sp sedan w/ >250,000 miles. Two of it's 4 windows used to go up slow. One was d/t slight misalignment, the other due to the window motor. Your case might be either one.

My padre has an 89 Accord that had a slow window (rolling up). And we replaced the motor. That seemed to help a little, but in the process of reinstalling I sprayed the channels with a little silicone spray. U might want to try that first.. esp if it's a beater.

Yeah, check the alignment too. That's pretty critical.

okay, Honda sells a silicone you use. You spray it in the front and rear cracks of the window and it helps it ease.

that is my diagram. You can also use something like ky or astroglide.
