2010 Honda Accord Weather Strip Window Molding Replacement

In this video we replace the Window Molding/Weather strip on a 2010 Honda Accord. After 12 years or so its past due replacement. I chose to use a cheaper set from Amazon to see how well they work and how well they fit. So far I am impressed at the quality and the ease of replacement. It takes a little more time on this model because the side view mirror has to be removed before the trim can be removed. Overall it was a lot less time involved than I originally thought. Even trying to record video while doing this with changing my angles to get out of cameras way when possible, it still only took around 15 - 20 mins per side. I will update the first line in this description if any issues come up over the next few years. Hope you find this video helpful and thanks for watching!

I don't usually comment but this is an excellent, thorough, well explained, practical explanation

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Thank you for your kind comment!

I absolutely agree, huge help removing the guesswork from those clips!

[@user-xr1ms4zi5i]

Agreed well done sir.

[@kcomz1]

Totally agree!!!!! Very well done! Thank you!

[@ThriftyToolShed]

It did on mine, just be aware that a leak from the top door seal can also leak around and show up in the same areas at times.

[@candicenunez3156]

Thank you for the exceptionally clear and professional tutorial! Honda just quoted me $500 to change these out. I did it for less than $50 thanks to you!

[@jordanlj1]

I paid 29$ for a set on eBay, and used this video to install. Very easy to understand and organized video, thank you!

[@josequintana6526]

Great tutorial. Installed mines today. I have a 2010 Honda Accord LX. Only needed to remove the 3 (8mm) nuts to remove the exterior mirrors. The nut you mentioned is a pain to remove, can be easily accessed by removing just the slightest of the plastic trim from the interior door just forward of where the nut is located. Makes access to nut super easy. Thanks for the video.

[@daftstuff6406]

thanks for sharing this how to. this is what makes youtube so great - people all across the world sharing their knowledge. Great stuff. You have definitely inspired me to do this myself.

[@markpeterson391]

Wow. Super instructions and professional. This video reduced my anxiety for a DIY project. Thanks

[@brianlee677]

[@NISSANZ33]

Helped so much setting expectations before I did mine! Thank you for such a thorough explanation

[@TLittle]

I don't normally comment but this was a great explanation. I did this today and it was moderate difficulty thanks to this video. Saved a lot of money.

[@pauldembry638]

For the "painful" nut, I first stuffed an old sock under it in case I dropped it, then took a piece of wire coat hanger bent into an L and slid the nut on the short part, pushed it to the bolt, and simply turned the nut with my finger to get it threaded.

[@davidsmith446]

Thanks a lot for the video. I did break some plastic tabs but I don't care if they fall to the bottom of the door. Also, that one nut on the mirror is rather difficult but I wedged the interior panel open from the door to get more room on installing the nut.

[@southwestbongocero]

Good job, thanks for the video. I just replaced my sons 2011 v6 today. He bought it used and it was a Az car for most of its life and extreme heat ate up the weather stripping. Thanks again. It went smoothly thanks to your video.

Thank you for this video. My 2010 is in worse shape than yours (14 years old at this point) and was considering trying this but wasn't sure the difficulty of it. Your detailed explanation and step by step video were exceedingly helpful. I am ordering the molding through your link now.

[@ISquard1]

Thank you for this! This was well explained and the demonstration was very clear. Also, thank you for the tip to use a magnet so that nut doesn't fall in the door. I have my parts ordered now and will be using this as my guide!

[@pickleeater3102]

Excellent video. I just purchased these based on your video. Thank you

[@jlco]

The service manual says to slide the clips forward to release them, but this works just fine. Which is just as well, since at least one clip on the coupe is inaccessible with the window in any position, even with the door panel removed.

This is a very helpful how to video. I too have a 2010 Accord sedan V6. All the window weather stripping has come off and desperately needs new stripping installed. This video gives me the confidence to tackle this job. How has the stripping held up?

[@ThriftyToolShed]

The trim had held up well and no issues to report.

[@troyhenry3267]

Thanks to your video, I just finished replacing my weatherstrips just like you did on my 2010 Accord. Doing it myself I know I saved at least $300-$500.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

[@SetAside777]

Thanks for the detailed tutorial. Did you notice less air noise at highway speeds? I'm hoping these parts will help with that.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Perhaps some. I do know I had more wind noise from above the windows. I had a rain guard cover above the windows making a lot of wind noise.

[@sourcetext]

Great video, thanks

[@samueladams584]

Man my window trim has been flapping around for months. Very annoying. I finally tried to look it up on KZbin and found your video. Looks like you have a EX, I have a LX non chrome. I wonder if the trim is interchangeable.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

As far as I know they are interchangeable as long as you do have the 4 door. I bought mine based on Accord 8th gen. At least I did not see a variant for EX vs. LX. The ones I ordered looked identical to mine so I did not even think about that honestly.

[@Alitrucking]

I love your car seats. Wish I have same color too 😢

[@dcdave861]

I did mine today. I had to use the 8mm wrench to loosen the lower nut but could not get any socket or anything on it to put it back on. Even with a magnet. You don't see it in your video but there is a piece that stick out from the molding around the door right in the way of that nut. Made it impossible to put the nut back on with fingers. Even with a magnet I couldn't get it threaded. One nut fell down in the door on the driver side. I still have it for the passenger side but the only thing I may be able to use is tweezers to try to put it back. It was so frustrating I gave up. I hope the 2 of 3 nuts holding the mirror on will suffice.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

It's been a while, but I thought I mentioned that nut specifically and mentioned the magnet was under it in case it fell and rag under it to help in case. Yeah, that one is hard for sure, but as shown not impossible...

[@Mrmarcus501]

[@schelbin09]

Does this do the rear little windows as well? It wasn't clear in the video. All my felt strips are bending and peeling up, including the little rear ones. It doesn't show on the link the separation between the windows that roll down in the rear and the felt that is in the stationary rear windows.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Yes it's only 2 strips for each side and it goes all the way under the small back stationary window as well. You can tell at 6:50 in the video. I show it goes all the way under that window that I believe you are referring to. Best of luck to ya!

[@BornToFly4031]

Good job…bless you too.

[@basaathoff]

Anyone know what the Orange pry tool was used to remove the old molding?

[@ThriftyToolShed]

I have a link to a very similar pry tool kit in the video description.

[@eigerz8491]

So annoyed the left side fit but the right side didn’t so lesson learned not too cheap out on window trim moldings, sadly have to spend $300 at the dealership they’re so expensive

[@Enigmaafk]

After watching the video, suppose I replaced the part in the past and did not marked the clip positions from the original ones I removed cause i didn’t know . Is there a method to ensure correct positioning, or does it not matter since aftermarket position clips are already set? Cause I notice the clips are in the ball park from the one you’re removing. Thanks once again

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Without removing the door panel I cannot say for sure that it doesn't matter. It could possibly be somewhere along the door that they need to avoid maybe. I simply installed in the ballpark and had no issues anywhere that I installed them and no clips hit any part of the interior or affect the window in any way. Hope it helps!

[@Enigmaafk]

@@ThriftyToolShed thanks, but the replacement one did you had to reposition the clips on them, if I may ask

[@ThriftyToolShed]

@@Enigmaafk I actually did move a few of them to align close to the originals, but it did not seem to matter as long as they were close. Some were already in about the same spot.

[@Enigmaafk]

@@ThriftyToolShed thank you have a nice day

[@ThriftyToolShed]

@@Enigmaafk Thanks! Hope you have a great day as well!

[@mville685]

Hey do you know where I can order these replacements? I have a 2011 honda accord and my strips are in need of a replacement badly

[@ThriftyToolShed]

I shared a link in the video description for the strips I used on mine. I was thinking all 8th Gen 4 door Accords would be the same, but double check that they list your vehicle in the Amazon description. I only own a 2010 4 door to say for sure. Let me know if the link is no longer good.

[@billwilliams4090]

excellent video. however the pry tool method didn't work for me. I just used my hands and broke it out in one fell swoop. Also I had to remove the top door molding/plastic strip on the top/inside of the window to get to that 3rd bolt. wasn't hard

[@ThriftyToolShed]

The clips will break easily for sure. I simply tried not to break them if possible in case of issues later with the pieces getting into a window track or something, but some are bound to pop. Hopefully all is well. Thanks for your comment!

[@billwilliams4090]

@@ThriftyToolShed believe it or not only one broke. I think I may have been using a cheap pry tool. it was not pulling the trim off. I did try exactly what you suggested

[@fionavong8536]

Thanks mate :)

[@GatsDomineaux]

Is this the same for the 2010 Acura MDX?

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Should be very similar procedure, just slightly different trim pieces. I would verify that the ones you order are specifically for your model.

[@josegamboa5068]

thanks sr

[@Dani_kado]

Are these the same size on the coupe model?

[@ThriftyToolShed]

I believe they are different. I would double check that your model/style is listed as correct before ordering. I only ordered for my model so I cannot say for certain.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

​@Dartoasis, The more I look I see some for the Civic coupe, but not any for the Accord coupe. That is so strange. It seems you may have to resort to the dealership for these if no aftermarket ones are available. So weird to me.
