That's what my car is.. and I seem to have troubles with the driver side window as well. When it's warm, it works fine, but when its cold or the car is on Accessory, then it struggles to go up, sometimes will even stop so I have to try to force it up..
this is a well known problem with all 5th gen accords... they work fine in the warm, but in colder temps they have a mind of their own... only thing you can do is replace them. buying used ones won't help, because they do the same thing. look on ebay for new ones unless you wanna spend a fortune at the dealership

In your case, you might have a weak motor or try lubing your window tracks. The rubber part only

You have to make sure your car is running, and punch he window from the inside, not wicked hard but alot around the edges and then have some one press and hold the swith down while you bang it and pull down on the window (hand on each side) once you get it down make sure you weather stripping and window seal is all the way on and use something to lube it up.
