Thanks Jon!!! Kudos!!!! This was perfect for My Driver's side Door Grab Bar Replacement Project.. Mine, like many others, snapped right off... The dealer wanted 1k for this Including 3 hours of labor... You made it look easy...

Repaired a faulty window switch. Your video was key. Perfect explanation of disassembly. Thank you.

Nice video, I'll do my 2009 rl soon on driver side. I did my center console before too and the glove box cover, it's nice that ebay or Amazon have them pre cut already. Thank you

[@ruslankontsimal7072]

Small note, the 2009-2010 and possibly even the 2011 and 2012 Acura RL models have an extra screw in the upper door handle pocket - where the armrest is. There’s a rubber rectangular piece you can gently remove to expose the screw.

[@JONSDIY]

Ruslan, Thanks for the info.

[@donetsk95]

About to do it tomorrow. Good video.

[@josephcazzuto7198]

Thank you. I have a dark grease stain on the inside of my window so I need to get in there and figure it out. This helps.

[@Brownbutter801]

Great video thanks! Would you happen to have the blistering problem on the glove box? It's notorious on the RL and deserves a repair video.

[@JONSDIY]

Yes I do, I have purchased material to repair it. I am just being a bit lazy and need to tackle that next. Mine looks like someone melted it with a lighter.

[@Brownbutter801]

JON'S DIY it’s a tough one to repair I would imagine! I got really lucky and found one at the Parts Yard. The housing was broken but the front leather(or synthetic) can be unscrewed separately so I just used my existing glove box housing. Good luck with it mate. I love my car again now that I’ve fixed a few issues.

@@Brownbutter801 Thanks for the info. Hopefully I can pull it off like I did with the door arm rest. Thanks Jon (don't forget to subscribe!)

How did you get the speaker out. I can get the panel off but can't find a way to remove the speaker

Excellent video.

[@jeffreyfox3513]

Jon, what model years RL does this apply to?

[@JONSDIY]

Jeffrey, The RL in this video is a 2006. But when purchasing the arm rests (link in description) it states that it will work with all RL 2005 to 2010.
