You probably need to remove the door panel and adjust the glass.

Open the online manuals thread in this link: https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/for...threads-40780/

The 94 accord shop manual will show the procedure.

Here is a video on replacing the run channel.

Watch How To Replace A Window Run Channel ( 97 Honda Accord) | EricTheCarGuy Episodes | How To Videos | Blip

You can see how to remove the door panel. You may want to clean and lubricate that run channel too.

There is also a link in that common diy thread for glass jumping the track that you should check out.

Let us know how this turns out.

Good luck.

Well the "good stuff" costs a bit - ~$20 Shin-Etsu Grease.

Other than that you can use some other type of lube, I've use white lithium before with some luck.

The link is part of this thread. I posted the instructions from a Honda Service News article there previously. You would reposition the window regulator and front channel.

It is under "94-97 Door glass jumps track".
