i just want get your opinions on what might be wrong with my drivers side window motor. when its warm out it goes down alright, but as it gets colder it wont go down but a few inches. the other windows work pretty well so im guessing the motor is just shot, just curious if anyone has ran into this problem. also, if it is the window motor, where is the best place to get a new one. thanks for your help

Try spraying the window run channel with silicone lube, and run the window up and down a few times spraying the run channel between each window cycle.The drive motor will stop if it feels an 'overload' and the run channels can create enough drag to cause this.
If you spray all the run channels at each oil service interval you'll have no problems.

 

hey, just wanted to thank you for the tip, the drivers side window works great now, i went ahead and serviced the others as well.
thanks hondadude

can this lubrication be done with the door panel in-place, or do you have to remove it to get to the channels you talk about??

 

No need to remove the door panel; the window run channel is the 'slot' the window runs in.
Roll the window down and spray the 'slot', then run the window up and down; the window will, so to speak "drag the lube" down the channel.
