Had this problem for about a year or so, evry so often ( especialy when cold out ), the drivers window would jump the track if I went down past the half way mark. I would take the door liner off and put it back on trackeach time. Then one day I took a closer look andI noticed the problem was mainly in the back track, so I lubed the hell out of it with silicone spray to soften it up, I havn't had a problem since.

I have the exact SAME problem in my 1990 Honda Civic SI. The window (drivers side) was completely missing when the car was purchased. I paid to have a new one installed. I even purchased a new register to go inside the door so it would slide up correctly. It still has the same problem, I have to push against the window pushing towards the back so it lines up straight. The people who replaced my registrer and installed the window itself said I needed new weather stripping...but my weatherstripping is actually not in bad shape. I am at a loss.[sm=dontgetit.gif]

Do everything that EJ 98 said to do.

I just fixed the drivers side window that was off track.

I put loctite on the 10mm bolt down at the bottom that holds the track after putting the window back into the tracks and then sprayed silicone in all the window tracks.

Actually there was no 10mm bolt when I opened it up and even found an old screw driver down in the door frame.

Evidently the previous owner didn't do it right.

there is TSB out for this problem. I can't think of the # right now, but look it up on one of the online sites.

right before a graduation party, i was dressed all nice and ****, i had to hold my window and roll it down and gently let the window go into track.. well it slipped out of my hands and shattered, i got pissed off and punched it out (tint was holding it in place) and it cut my hand all up and i got blood all over my nice outfit.. so much for that glass thats not suppost to cut you ay! lol, anyhow heres what i did...

1. goto junkyard (if your in PA, goto Maroneys Foreign Auto Parts, their good on their prices) and get a new Window Regulator.. or in my case, a new window too! XD

2. take door pannel off (for ek's, theres a screw in the change holder thing on the arm rest, screw near the handle, and 3 around the speaker)..

3. put the window into the track, you have to slide it tword the windshield and get that side on first, then get the backside in

4. pull the regulator up to hold the window and put the plastic screw to hold the window perminatly.

now heres how to get it to stop popping off track

1. inspect your regulator, if it is bent just a little bit, it will throw it off track
2. inspect your side tracks, you want them to line up with the window to make it harder to pop off


aditional:

dont roll ur window up and down like an *** or that could possibly bend the regulator, do it normal and slow, dont worry, the air on the outside will still come in 2 seconds later

spray silicone spray on the track and roll the window up and down to lube up the entire track, this helps it glide easy without being forced which means less pressure to throw it off track

i went thru this with both of my windows, i had to pay someone to do it for me, luckily i know now how to fix it haha.
