RE: Window Help
Ya know, I just responded to your older post and then found this one too. Funny, because in this respect, we have the same kind of car and same problem. The motor on my passenger window is veerrrrryyyy sllloowwww. It takes about three times longer to roll up than the drivers side, but it still works.
I hope someone can help you figure it out because I haven't ever had to get inside the door panels on my car, because if I did I know I wouldn't know anything about it... so no point there!
Good luck!

RE: Window Help
If your window motor actually raises and lowers the window, it should be ok. Inside your door is what Honda calls the window regulator, a single unit which contains the window motor. The motor winds a cable in the desired direction, which in turn pulls the window holder along a sliding track, thus moving the window up and down. This track is greased from the factory, but over time the grease wears thin and dirt from outside collects on it and creates a lot of friction. It makes it difficult for the motor to move the window, such as in your case. If you are interested in tackling it yourself, I can post the pdf files from my Honda service manual. They show exploded views as well as tell you how to remove the regulator. It also tells you where to grease the tracks. I had to replace the whole unit in my 98 civic about a year ago because the cable inside the regulator was about to break. It isn't that hard to do.
