take the door panel off and look for the window being off track in the very bottom

same thing happened to me, guy told me that this tends to happen especialy in cold weather on civics...dont know how true that is, but...anyways if its slow now it will eventually come off the track. if you bring it in and someone trys to sell you a new regulator...get outa there! lol...20 bucks to have someone put it back on track...or you could DIY

this DIY is a PITA. You have to align the window perfectly and tighten those bolts to spec

theres usually a dirt spot that it sits into... and the way i set em up is to put the switch back on and put the window all the way up. then tighten it while its up. then its gutta be perfect. never had a problem.
