92 Honda Accord LX, 4 door, 4 cylinder, auto trans, power windows work both the switch and motor but sometimes don't go up all the way. I have to have my wife hold the switch while I pull the window up with the palms opf my hands. only the passenger side front and back have this problem the drivers side is OK. Also unrelated, but the power Antenna does not go down any more even though I can hear the antenna motor trying to power it up or down. I thought these problems might just need some liquid silicone somewhere? What do you think? I am just a novice but very practical.

Windows: The window tracks are likely dirty and need a good cleaning. It's best to remove the windows and clean the whole track with rubbing alcohol and use a liquid silicone or dry Teflon lube on the tracks, but if that's not possible clean what you can with the window down. If that doesn't help, the window regulator might be on it's way out.

Antenna: There is a coiled, linear gear on the antenna mast that wears down over time. It can either be replaced with a new/used antenna or what I did when it happened is I pulled the antenna all the way up and unplugged the motor.

Is that picture above of you?

 

most likely you will need a window regulator ........ and an antenna mast

 

Thank You for your suggestions, and yes that is me in the picture. I originate residential mortgage loans for a living. negotiate discount notes and accounts receivables too.

 

Ah I didnt know the 4th Gens had the window problems as well. Its a big problem in my 5th Gens. Window regulators are alot of money, so I just live with it.

 

90-93 accords specially the rear windows on a 4 dr .. we have replaced a crap load of them ,, that's when it all started with the 1990 s
you can get a non-honda regulator a lot cheaper ( checker, autozone ) normally costs around $ 100-120

As for the antenna if you do not mind doing it manually, you can get a manual antenna from the dealer for about 30-40 dollars
