Well recently in my 92 Honda Accord the drivers side window was starting to
make a grinding noise when trying to open. It would open an inch and
grind then u push it and it will go down more then the noise will repeat.
The same way going up. I take it that the motor was going. It now
stopped working. It will work every now and then but mostly not at all.
Ok now so if I have to replace the motor how do I do that? I am familiar
with taking the door panels off because I have replaced the speakers a few
times. I just don't know how I would get my damn hands in the little
pannel to get to the window motor and all. It is the drivers side front
and its a power window if you didn't guess.

Also my drivers side back the window goes up and down with no problem but
stops with about an inch of the window open. I can pull it up and close
it but for some reason it will stop with an inch exposed causing rain to
leak in. I noticed while at the car wash water leaked in! Please let me
know any advice!

I had the same grinding noise on a '92 Accord, to fix the problem I
greased all the track etc. with white waterproof grease.

I have never taken a window motor apart but there has to be spring
mounted limit switches in the motor housing to stop the motor when the
glass is at full travel. The resistance is shutting off the motor with
the window not at full travel.

I bet your total cost to fix the window will be a tube of grease. Put
the grease on with a little stick. Blood on the mechanism is negative.

Sounds like you may have to grease more than one window so buy enough
grease.

I had the window channel rubber liner fall out on both windows if my
'92 accord two door. Had to reglue them to the metal channel in the
door, and lube them up good. bob

teflon or siliconspray on the window seals (rubber ?)
