97 - 01 Honda CRV: How to open rear hatch glass in the junkyard

[@turtlemotonation]

There’s a really good moral to be learned from this video, people really need to start being more considerate

[@hondaresource]

I can't tell you how many of these glasses I've seen broken man

[@hangtenboy]

Right?!?

[@optimusime2487]

Definitely a great idea for opening the glass hatch. I was at a salvage yard yesterday, there was no way I would have climbed through the pile of trims, seats, mouldy carpet etc, to release the hatch at the release rod. Luckily for me, the hatch had already been unlocked when someone took the latch. Great videos mate, greetings from Australia.

[@hondaresource]

Awesome! Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@rodolfolostaunau8702]

I did this today and it worked!! Literally took me 3 mins

[@hondaresource]

Heck yeah! Works like a charm

[@rodneylucio7743]

Gettin all fancy with the dual cameras!!!!

[@cecilburgner7797]

This was very helpful to enable me to fix my Honda CRV

[@hondaresource]

Glad it helped 💪

[@abdullahshaik4784]

Thanks for sharing . I have 1998 CRV and i love it

[@hondaresource]

Hopefully a good bit of RD1 content coming soon!

[@klav07]

Thats some very useful wizardry, but I rarely bring power tools to the yard. I should start..! Same can be done for window switches

[@hondaresource]

Yessir! I plan to make a video for that as well

[@victormoreno5386]

I was just trying to open the rear door, I thought it was jammed. I didn't even realize the glass needed to open. Just got a 1999 CRV. This was super enlightening. Thank you. I was all most about to break the glass out of frustration. lol

[@hondaresource]

Hahahaha I'm glad I saved your glASS

[@onice8552]

Thanks a ton. Just got a second crv for parts and I dont have an extra battery for it

[@Mc66654]

ive already done this like 5 times since watching this THANK YOUU

[@CaptainTexas92]

Want everyone to think about one thing. If you guys have one of these CRV’s the rear oem glass is Finite and the Chinese replacements have a good habit of melting the wiring for defrost and window tint

[@foreignisdomesticnow2142]

Hey Phillip. Nice work. Which color wires do I connect for rolling windows up and down on '97-01 CR-V? Thanks.

[@hondaresource]

I'm not sure

[@GF-nm1cl]

Isn't there a mechanical release for the window inside the back tailgate door you could crawl in and press

[@elic.2443]

You're a scholar and a gentleman... awesome!

[@mhb37]

Great video! Thank you for posting it. The back window of my 2001 CRV smashed and almost immediately my battery began to drain completely. Could the broken window and the battery drain be related?

[@hondaresource]

Yes, it has a sensor that activates the rear dome light.

[@getsmarter5412]

If you're going to a junkyard looking for this piece then yes, be prepared with a small battery with wires ready to go before you get there!

[@echomoon3381]

Thanks! You saved/kept me from embarrassing myself from asking a random stranger where the heck the button was! LOLOL it's been over a year since I drove my son's CRV and I couldn't remember where it was.

[@hondaresource]

Glad to help!

[@DG-888]

Cool, the issue im have is my back window wont close it softly. I have to be a little aggressive and close it pretty hard. Any thoughts why. Would that be a latch issue. I take closer look when i have time.

[@hondaresource]

Could be adjustment of the striker for the latch.

[@rippherzipper3018]

Awesome. I was woundering about that glass. Now I need a video how to take that glass door off.

[@hondaresource]

It's just a couple 10mm nuts and some wiring to disconnect... Well you'll need a 12mm wrench to disconnect the shocks too

[@cri8tor]

Have you posted a video on how to replace that same rear hatch lock? Looks pretty basic, but would be nice to see you do it first. Cheers

[@hondaresource]

I haven't

[@hangtenboy]

Great video. Never even thought of that but a really awesome idea and easy to do. Great instructions!

[@hondaresource]

Thanks for watching!

[@Kawasaki1-m4l]

How to take off the rear bumper to replace left side broken tail light housing please.2001 CRV rd

[@hondaresource]

I don't have a video for it, but it's pretty straight forward. A couple clips on the bottom, 1 screw in each wheel well where the bumper meets the quarter panel. If you have mud guards, remove the Phillips screws from them. Open the rear cargo door, there are several clips there and 2 10mm bolts

[@Kawasaki1-m4l]

@@hondaresource Thank you very much

[@jollys1107]

Very useful, i was able to open the hatch and get the wing👍🏼

[@hondaresource]

Score!

[@andrewvang2118]

hi , i have question my tailgate door knob is hard to push open, I usually use my key or a screwdriver to push it forward to open ,wonder if you have run to this problem, feedback please thank you

[@hondaresource]

Which knob are you referring to?

[@andrewvang2118]

@@hondaresource the tailgate push up knobs ,for example like for the front door ,the little pulled up little knobs pin you lock and unlocked to get in and out..I call it knob because it a big push button for the tailgate, for mine crv it a black color push knob.after you used the key to release the glass window and for the tailgate to open you have to use the handle from the back that holds the back license plate, just like the all the door you need to push this black button to release the tailgate to open

[@andrewvang2118]

@@hondaresource wondering does this allow you to show pictures, I'm new and don't know about it

[@l.d.p.9365]

Dude thank you this is a very informative little video

[@justusethis2379]

Thank you very much! I just did it for mine! 🙏

[@CostaRicaVakantie]

HI, is there a fuse controlling this rear window glass lock? I have a battery connected but the glass does not open with the button.

[@CostaRicaVakantie]

oke, I checked all fuses but all good, then pushed out the button. Disconnected it en reconnected it 3 times and it works again. Bad contact, nothing else! Happy me!

[@hondaresource]

good deal. I've never had an issue with one.

[@scootguy85]

Can you do a videos of how to replace the rear hatch door on a 2001 honda cr-v?

[@hondaresource]

The swing out door?

[@wheezy_]

If my hatch button doesn’t work on my rd1 it’s the button that needs to be replaced?? Or no?

[@hondaresource]

I'm not sure. Disconnect the switch and use a paperclip to jump the pins in the harness that connects to the switch

[@jeffreyluster2778]

Question: Would a 9v battery work?

[@hondaresource]

I think it should

[@quadrillipede]

all you gotta do is take off the cover on the inside of the tailgate and pull on the rod that connects the lock to the latch. or get all macguyver for no reason with a battery and wires lol

[@hondaresource]

That works too but sometimes people don't feel like crawling over all that stuff to get back there. It's way easier to do it this way.

[@quadrillipede]

The Honda Resource for sure, i just never have power tools with me at the salvage yard

[@darkbionic1044]

Hi how I can close the latch door basically the windows is helping it hold on

[@hondaresource]

so is the latch on the tailgate malfunctioning?

[@GloriaNuno-s6q]

Hello, my car is getting water through the glass behind the door. I hope you can help me thanks

[@hondaresource]

I’m not sure how it could have gotten in there

[@neodemon283]

I have subscribed. Nice work

[@hondaresource]

Hopefully a good bit of RD1 content coming soon!

[@jamestyndall529]

You do not need to remove the button hook your battery straight to the battery cables under the hood

[@hondaresource]

That would work too if it hasn't been hacked up

[@jamestyndall529]

I was replacing the door lock actuator on my 99 CRV from Pull-A-Part the other day. I open the back glass for the next guy

[@johngoepel5263]

Or you could just fold a rear seat down, climb in the back, open the square plastic maintenance door in the rear door panel, reach in and pull the horizontal rod there to the side. The glass will pop right open. Requires zero tools and takes 60 seconds max. You can either: 1. Crawl for 3 feet in an SUV, pull 4"x4" plastic square off, tug on latch rod or... 2. Bring specifically a 12v battery pack to the yard, kneel on the junkyard ground while carefully popping out a switch under the dash by squeezing clips you can't see, then carefully squeezing the switches harness clips, then have cut and stripped wire prepared, wrap around battery, and insert the wires into the correct holes. Really nicely made video, and I'll definitely check out his other videos, but unfortunately the content here is complete overkill, and also requires the wiring and rear latch motor to still be functional.

[@wyzevernz1581]

Does this work with an ordinary battery?

[@hondaresource]

It may with a 9v battery or any 12v battery

[@wyzevernz1581]

@@hondaresource thank you

[@Adam_David]

I Appreciate you making these videos , You've Saved Me A LOT of money Dude ! Lol Seriously tho 💪🤘 Question with the Drill Battery and Scrap wire (conduit) Does this method work with any power driven amenities or functions ? Wherever the function switch is

[@hondaresource]

Yes it should

[@S2XCREW]

You can also just go into the trunk from the rear seat and with a flat head open the latch and done. That's what i do.

[@itsjiraheta]

Lovely!! I wish I knew this a year ago.

Always welcome

[@andyattaway75]

Great video!

[@darwinbanila8466]

Hi there, new here. The issue I’m having is that I have to slam the glass window for it to close.

[@hondaresource]

I think if you remove the black plastic trim on the glass latch, you can adjust it with a couple allen screws

[@darwinbanila8466]

@@hondaresource thanks! I’ll give it a try

[@TheShangralaaaa17]

orrr you can just use a 9v accessory plug adapter used for saving settings while removing the battery

[@hondaresource]

True, I just felt like more people would take an electric tool battery tab a 9v battery at the junkyard

[@TheShangralaaaa17]

@@hondaresource another good idea is using those 3d printed adapters for running a tool battery in a power wheels. I use one as a test station when wiring things

[@jsrides2065]

How do you do it on a mk2 2002

I would guess pop the switch out the driver door and do the same. I'm not sure though

But you can just use the key to open the glass manually from the rear.

[@hondaresource]

True but many of these in the junkyards don't have the key or a battery

[@FE428Power]

Perfect!

I see alot of "I don't bring Power tools to a Salvage Yard" My Question is Why Wouldn't You ?? I Find it makes for Faster and More Efficient results . But by all means Go Fred Flintstoner it lol🤘🤙
