Default window wont stay up

I did a search and found no help, so...

The problem is that you rollthe passenger side windowup and as you drive, it rolls back down about an inch. How can I fix this? Is the track adjustable?

This is on a DX. It has a crank, not a button. I muststress that this is a MANUAL window, not a power window.

Bungie cord on the handle? Either that or replace the window mechanism. I don't think the friction part is adjustable, just the alignment.

yeah, as mk says, your window regulator likely needs to be replaced. Several years ago, I paid $75 for one from the Honda dealer. You might also consider getting one cheaper from a salvage yard.

I adjusted the tracks and got the window to stay up. It works much better now. All I ended up doing was removing the door panel, loosening three bolts, and moving the window tracks slightly inward.
