basic maintenance helps

my 86 prelude power windows close better than yours just cuz I gave them a little love.

this seems to be a problem with the 96 -98 civics only! don't seem to be a problem with other hondas!!

I had the exact same problem with my power windows about 2 weeks ago. I'm sure the cold weather is the main cause as well. Just be glad that your window is still on it's rail.

What you need is silicone spray. Something like this:






You can get it from CT or Walmart
(not Amsoil but other brands)

Good luck

And don't use WD40.

It will make it worse.
