Im having some problems with my drivers window on my 2004 Accord , when I put the window up the glass pushes forward and pops out of the rubber , I have to apply pressure on the glass to enable it to not move and go up and close , It goes up easily when I put pressure on the glass and also comes down okay so Its not the motor , do you think it could be the regulator ?
 
It sounds like your window guilds are bent forcing the window out.
Gaz how long as it been like this and has anyone been leaning on the window.
 
Its been like this for a while , I used to get away with spraying some silicone spray inside the rubber and it was okay but its not working now the windows coming out of the seal unless I put force on the window to stop it tilting forward
 
The only thing i can think is to take of the door card and see what's going on behind.
 
Ash I had this problem on my 2003 Accord, on the glass itself theres a bracket moulded onto it. this bracket fits onto the motor with bolts... on my car the moulding got a bit slack and the window was just resting in the bracket/holder, so when it was used to put the window down it was fine (less stress) but when you try and put the window up it would not stay in line... try this... put your window half way down, using your had get a firm grip onto the top of glass and see if you can move it side to side freely, if you can then it needs to be remoulded... i.e the bracket remoulded back onto the glass...

any window/windscreen place can do this, I paid £10 to get this done, but took a few days to dry though...
 
When I bought my 2003 Exec tourer it had window issues. My window controls were a bit wonky. The passenger side of the car was all messed up and it was my console in the driver door that needed replacing. Passenger front window, I could only make go down, not up. Except it messed up the passenger door's control and the passenger door could only make it go up, not down. So if the Mrs wanted to open the window, I had to roll it down and then she had to roll it back up again :huh: .

It was the same issue but vice versa in the back near side. I could only make it go up, and it had to be put down in the back. Very odd really. I forget how much it was, but it wasn't too dear to replace the switch unit. I think not much over £100 as the labour was about 2 minutes, I think they only charged me for the part. Which was very decent as while the car was in they were also replacing the tail gate motor (over £1K worth of parts and labour) for free under warranty. It's times like that you appreciate just how good Honda are.

Its most likely the window mount that holds the actual window at the bottom they are glued into it, just need to find a suitable glue to set it in place again.
