With the cold weather coming up, i noticed that closing my windows in my 2003 accord has taken longer. it seems that it's only going as half as fast when closing the windows. 3 of 4 seem to be slow. Power's not an issue as there's a new battery in the car and i've tried doing it while the car was in neutral and revving the engine to about 2k rpm.

anyone seen this before?

try some silicone spray. spray it down the sides of the ruber stripping the window rides in.

 

Take it to an auto glass shop, they can rework/respray them for a low price.

 

so this would go where the windows meet the seals on the side? it's not an electrical motor problem? (that's what i was thinking)

Wouldnt silicone spray smear up on the windows after a certain time period?

thanks for your responses

 

Take it to a professional glass shop.

My driver's side window is acting up too. Shouldn't be more than $100 to fix both windows.

 

silicon spray does wonders, may accords have these problems, especially 5th gen, all driver side door. Get silicon luricant with the spray tube, put the spray tube in the crevice(chanell) and spray working from top to bottom, the seals get all dry and expand is why it actually does this and being the fact the driver side window is mostlly used over the others

 

i mentioned all the windows do this, with the exception of the rear driver window. which brand of silicon spray? i saw silicon grease and spray. lol

 

i had the same problem with my honda replace my regualator but when it get cold samethink happends ,i really dispointed with the new hondas now i use to have 1998 and no problems now they are crap to many problems with them ,everybody i talk to with accord have problems with them

 

Its teh aerosal silicon spray. It comes in a spray can, yu can do that and also put silicon grease(non aerosol) on the tracking arm near on the regulator.

 

i'll give it a try and let you know what happens. it's 65 out here in DC. (wish it was snowing) lol
