Out of alignment condition - Check if the top rubber channel molding has become loose in the door top frame, you should see it when window's down. Also, is the glass loose? - take it .5 way down and grab the top and check. Make sure the glass is in the side channels as well. If the damage is already done to the top rubber you may need to replace.

A common problem for Honda. It is likely to be the runners.

At the bottom of the glass there is a couple of round plastics wheels that go along the runners on the regulator as window goes up and down. Aftertime the plastics starts to split and the wheel slips on the runner.

Eventually the window will drop on one side when the plastics has totally gone and it will fall of the runner.

Take the door panel off and have a look at the runner.

On my accord the wheels were a part of the window and so a new window was needed. You may be lucky and be able to remove the wheels from the window and take a trip to the scrapyard.
