Under dry conditions, the manual window in my civic rolls up and down
perfectly. When
it rains, the thing will only roll down about a quarter of the way. You
would say "who opens
the window when it's raining?" but every now and then you get a toll or
parking lot situation
so you either try to thread you arm through the space or open the door.
Not the end of
the world, but annoying.

Has anyone encountered this? Does trying to fix this kind of thing on a
honda just
get you into a death spiral of problems? Thanks.

I had this recurring problem on my '69 Porsche 911 years ago - the fix
was to use a silicone spray on the window channels (which would fix it
for a while).
