you may have to open up the door panel and use a little super green to clean the tracks AND then use the silcone spray to lube them.
then use silcone spray. I use the spray once a year and haven't had any problems.

I dont think its the tracks. Thesound of the motor goes Wwweeeoooweeeeeooowweeeee.
I am thinking its a Circile on each side of the window pushing it up and the circile deformed into an egg shape.
Anyone have pics of what it looks like before i open my door?

keep that lubed or else it will jump off track. i know cuz it happens all the time and its a pain in the butt to take the door panel off and fix. lube the side tracks
I am going to open my door tomorrow but can someone post pics to show what i am looking for?
I did search, I found these below. But my problem is not that my windows are off track it goes up and down the entire way.Its just that it goes up then struggles then goes up then struggles etc etc.

on the pic you see the almost vertical line behind the circle on the right side of the door where the speaker would go, thats the track. it continues up to the mirror and down to a bolt at the bottom of the door which you cant see in the pic. the other track is basically the other edge of the door (left side of door not pictured). its what holds the glass in place by the edges when it slides up and down in the door98civex said:
now imagine fingering your g/f's cooch, thats what you need to do with the silicon spray, you need to get it in the cooch of the track
(yes it was very very hard to say that with a straight face)
i just relubed my windows yesterday and this is what i tried out: its called Primis Gel Lube and it specifically states that it can be used for sliding window tracks in its directions. so far its working great, my passenger side window is no longer lagging behind the driver side window when they go up. pics...
im sure it wouldnt hurt its just hard to get to. the door panel needs to be taken off. im thinking window lubing should have been a listed item on the maintenance schedule for civics98civex said:
Silicone is what we use at the dealership. Works great!
Definite.I sprayed this on going on 2 months now.. Still no problem.. this stuff works
