Default Window Problem Please Help

I have 96 EX with automatic windows but my drivers side window only rolls up about 3/4 of the way then makes a clicking sound and kinda vibrates up and down.
I can manually pull it up but it doesnt stay just fall back down to 3/4 of the way up.
Please Help.
Thanks,
Willie

your window regulator or motor gears are worn out..... mine did the same couple of days ago, i replaced it. thats all it is. but if you wanna get it just rolled up for now, try pulling the glass up to close till it stops and hit the switch again to roll up completly

i had the exact same problem. it matched your description to the dot. i can almost guarantee that it is the windo regulator, because if it was the motor i dont think your window would move up to the 3/4 point. (someone correct me if i'm wrong). On mine, the reason it stopped near the top was that the top teeth on the regulator had been broken off and dulled down. I just took apart my door, went to the honda dealership and asked for a regulator. I got it for 100 bucks, slapped it in and it was as good as new. The whole installation took about 3 hours, minus the trip, but it was my first time taking apart the door and one of my first times really working on cars so i'm pretty sure i could do it much faster now. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
