My '94 Accord wagons front windows (especially the drivers side) have become almost inoperable and sluggish at most. Sometimes needing help by pulling up on the. I have sprayed lithium and everything else down there but I'm afraid to take the door panel off and lubricate propoerly as I'm sure that's probably the problem. Any tips on how to get the door panel off? There is only 3 visible screws which I removed to no avail...

What to check next

Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.

Have the window mechanism inspected and its supply and ground tested under load before choosing a motor or regulator. Use the correct door-trim procedure for the wagon.

you are not going to gain anything by lubricating the motor. i can not really remember how the door panel comes off beacause i have not worked on one in a while. but check the trim around the handle it probably has to come off if i get one in the shop in the next few days i will look at the door and hit you back. but trust me get ready to replace the window motors they are worn out and if you can not get the door panel off you do not even want to attempt to replace the window motor. take it to a pro. not tring to be rude just tring to save you some time and headache

Discussion summary

Electric Windows

The front windows of a 1994 Accord wagon became very slow, especially the driver's window. Lubricant had not restored normal operation, and the owner could not remove the door trim.

Reported outcome: No repair or follow-up result was reported.

A reply blamed worn motors, but no circuit readings or mechanical inspection established the cause. The discussion did not provide a verified trim-removal procedure.
