5 years later and this video is still very helpful. Thank you again for making it! Easy to follow instructions that made my project so much easier. :)

[@ayyfro]

Was going to bring mine to a shop but thanks to this video will tackle on my own!

[@lawrencebaranek9287]

One of the best instructional videos. Thanks, you’re the real deal…

[@ImNorm29]

I've had this video filed away for about a year, knowing that I had to replace the housing for the driving light on my wife's CRV (now handed down to our daughter). I finally got around to it this week and the video was absolutely perfect - so perfect I discovered that apparently when the Honda dealer did some warranty work several years ago, they didn't put the lower part of the bumper shroud back together properly (I had one bolt and 5 body pins underneath instead of 2 and 4).

[@williamdutton1993]

Perfection. You made it look relatively quick and easy even for us amateurs.

[@luiscotto8405]

You sure know the honda crv my friend! Best instructional video I seen! Keep up the good work! God bless you abundantly!

[@larrysurtees5504]

Best ever instruction “ever.” Thank you.

[@DIYHonda]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AERIALBOY1]

amazing you are, did this yesterday replaced both headlights with both your videos on my 2014 CRV. would never known where to start without this video. very kind of you to take your time o explain this so clearly. thanks again.. took about 1.5 hours.

[@rafaelmercado6010]

Just replaced the top cover on Honda CRV and it took took me 20 minutes. Your video was great couldn't have done it without it.

[@alexanderzubar9593]

Excellent instructions. Finding those two top corner clips is quite the trick. They are barely visible through the grill slats ,with a LOT of light.at an awkward viewing angle. Luckily they are yellow so they are recognizable when looking carefully through a small slot in the plastic surrounding it. Thank you.

[@stephenvanzyl9174]

Thank you so much good sir. Very helpful appreciate the way you explain 10 points too you 👍

[@byronmorris4444]

Just replaced the top grill trim using your video. Amazing video, thanks!

[@jeff_t_matsuda]

You rock! Thanks for that man. There was a table on the freeway and I had to replace a busted front light. The parts list saved me a lot of grief too. Now I have to figure out if I can salvage the fog light.

[@davebeacham6707]

Thanks a zillion. Installing a base plate and tow bar, and their instructions just didn't make sense on taking the grill off by unclipping from the backside. Coming in from the front of the grill is SOO much easier. Thanks!

[@geraldg3130]

Great instructions. Those two hidden grille clips in the top corners are pretty tricky. But at the final stage of pulling off the wrap - I wouldn't just start pulling straight forward, especially on an older car, because the older plastic gets, the more brittle it becomes. After breaking the 3 connection points on each side, I decided to slow down and carefully pry each of the 4 remaining connection points on the front. Just get a small flat head and go along the top of the front, twisting / prying those points loose. Totally worked and I didn't break those remaining plastic "tabs" that clip the top on. I'm not too worried about the broken 3 on the sides because of the screw on each side.

[@scottjensen6221]

Thanks!! You were so much help! I appreciate your simple and easy to follow instructions ... just finished installing two new headlamp bodies ... just one trip to the hardware store for a super long Phillip's screwdriver. Thanks again!!

[@dmnelsondds]

Perfect, thank you so much, I ordered grill clips first because I knew they weuld be brittle and they were. Got the grill off after very careful work..the top clips being the hardedst. I did break 3, but I bought 30 for about $9 on Amazon. Changed out my daughters headlights and this video helped immensely. Unfortunately her hood cable is now broke so I have to do it again.🤦‍♂

[@TinoDetres]

The screw in the wheel well could be removed with a regular screwdriver if you just turn the wheel inward before starting each side.

[@erd140]

Can you do a video showing how you put the bumper back on with the clips?

[@59rammer]

real time saver thanks.

[@ReneJeddore]

On a 10 year old CR-V the yellow plastic clips get brittle and I ended up breaking 5 out of 6. Also, do not pull the bumper as shown at the end. The holes in the bumper the connect to the clips under the headlights are small and weak and will break. Use the same technique as shown in the video for releasing the clips on the sides of the bumper cover.

[@sixtytooze4746]

Excellent video. I only had one problem. The bottom screws by the wheel wells were rusted and very difficult. Thanks for posting.

[@wildunit]

Thank you. Folowed the instructions and everything went well.

[@andre9254]

[@antoniusdarmawan4869]

[@ncl1701]

Can the clips under the headlight be replaced?

[@diosteqma]

Thanks, removing a condenser today.

[@thejaliscoful]

Thanks. Great video

[@bellesebastian012]

Hello! I was wondering if you might consider doing a video on how to remove items that get lost below in the door of a power window in a 2013 Honda CRV. I left 2 one inch in diameter suction cups on my window and forgot to remove them before I rolled down the driver side window. Both got lost into the door and now there’s a windy sound when I drive on the freeway. Could you pls help? Thanks so much! What a great channel.

[@mikeprimeaux9071]

thank you so much! Great video :)

[@ianglen2374]

I have watched this video ( Great by the way) over and over again to get clues on releasing these two yellow clips at the top of the grille, but no luck. I even made a special tool to get in and push the tab up. trying to pry and apply just enough force to pull off the grille but not crack any of the plastic! Has anyone had success with this?

[@john-johnvanhamme3066]

Hello friend, first thank you for the vidéo. I have to remove the front bumper because one of my headlight washer is broken. I have the front sensors too. Is it the same procedure as this vidéo, or I have to do anything more to remove the front bumper (because I have headlight washer and front sensors) ? Thank you very much 🙂

[@twindad824]

Very good video

[@justaguy6100]

What if you only lost the lower bumper

[@vvizo]

Thnx alot

[@devildriver922]

Thank you for this video

[@DIYHonda]

My pleasure

[@janp4874]

Very helpfull video. Ive been looking for a aftermarket grill and i found one but this grill has the plastic aswell whats in youre video under the headlight. The plastic trim (black/grey)under the headlight is it connected with the bumper or can i remove these without removing the bumper?

[@rickyrundengan6491]

Thanks bro for your info 👍

[@awac4577]

Thank you

[@geraldg3130]

Did you actually order those yellow grille clips from Amazon? Just wondering because the product description page makes no reference as to how many clips come in that package and I would like to know how much I will be getting. I hate to assume one package is enough. Excellent vid by the way, thanks a million 👍

I want to change my 2013 CR-V front (bumper, headlights, grill and lower bumper) with 2015 - 2016 one. Is it possible?

[@Ihaveadashcam]

Umer Zubair yes, people have done it.

[@brewerkz8342]

if your in the rust bolt the bottom 10 mm bolts need plenty of penetrating fluid - a pain to get out.

[@gjr1974]

Does anyone know how to remove the three/four horizontal chrome slats in the front grille? I want to paint or wrap them in black. Thanks!

[@Ihaveadashcam]

gjr1974 I painted it on the car, just masked everything off good and sanded good

[@gjr1974]

@@Ihaveadashcam Thank you, I'm going to give it a try!

[@Ihaveadashcam]

gjr1974 do you have an instagram?

[@vmr2182]

Thanks for the video. Can the fog lights be removed without removing the bumper?

[@salmanal-harethey1486]

Hi, I replace mine by opening the wheel wall's small bolt and clips

[@jond2720]

It can be replaced through the wheel well. Here watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYTHpnehipx_eLs

[@tousshong9438]

LOL! I've tried but I cannot remove my grill as shown here. I was able to view the yellow clips from underneath and even try to pry it from under but still not happening. Any suggestion?

[@shaneclip7322]

Mine is the same way i cannot get to them either

[@lecta4170]

the yellow clips always breaks!!!! It dosn't work like in the video!!!!!! No way!!!!! Buy new 8 yellow clips and remove the grill

[@diverdave4056]

and HONDA will charge you $257 dollars just to remove the grill n bumper cover $$$ they say it takes 1 1/2 hours of labor ????

[@robles100]

👍👍👍

[@jond2720]

Anybody looking to replace FOG LIGHTS can skip the bumper removal. Use a shortcut shown in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYTHpnehipx_eLs

[@MIstastacks24]

[@XtremiTeez]

Hey, genius. You took off the bumper COVER. The bumper is that big white curved piece in front of the radiator. Now that the bumper COVER is off, you can proceed to remove the actual bumper.
