THE POWER WINDOWS WORK FINE WHEN BEING LOWERED HOWEVER WHEN RAISING THEY TEND TO JAM AND NEED HELP TO RAISE

Hi KEITHJR,

Seems the door glass runchannels are bad restricting the movement.

Check if the runchannels have gone out of position and try lubricating the runchannels with silicone or wax based sprays. DO NOT use oil based lubricants, they would cause the rubber to stick and cause more problems.

I believe Honda changed the type of window device around that time - from something that looked like a couple wheels that would literally roll the window up to something along the lines of a lever that went up a track, pushing the window up.

If it has the wheels, they could not be putting enough pressure. In either cases, if the motor is wearing out, it might not have enough power to lift the weight of the window.
