How To Remove Honda Element Rear Door Panel - Super Easy

[@randahlahamanandacrawford6421]

Thank you! Just replaced the rear door latch assembly but couldn't figure out the last step, rear door panel removal. Was just about ready to force it when I found your video. Saved me some lots of frustration. Great job!

Thank you so much for this video. I had been looking for one like this for ages. My upper door release cable has been sticking whenever it gets cold in Seattle so the rear door doesn't fully latch and the open door warning light just goes on and off. With your video I was able to get the cable out and flushed a bunch of gunk out of the cable sheath. Forced some cable lube in and now the door works perfectly.

Thank you🤗 near future project for me .

Thanks for the video! Found plenty of write-ups on how to take the front door panel off but not the suicide door. Someone dropped a *pencil* in my E that came to a rest behind the striker. Closed the door on it and the lock came loose inside the door :/ hope it isn't completely broken.

[@GuntherSnaps]

Trustthapo oh no! Good luck. Glad I could help!

[@jamesyoung7832]

Once the door panel is off, can you remove the arm rest? If so, how hard is it to do and how? Great videos. Thanks Jim

[@mosesbuddhajesus3362]

Nice, good job man! The more Element videos, the better ;)

[@GuntherSnaps]

thanks!

[@jasminearias4420]

Thanks so much for the video! Can you do a you tutorial on how to replace the diver side rear window (utility window) on the Honda Element? There are no tutorials on KZbin and I need help ☹️. Thanks so much! Hope to hear from you soon!

thanks you so much for the video, the lower locking latch for the door does not work in mine and i want to fix the problem and had no clue how to get the panel off, again, thank you so much

[@GuntherSnaps]

im really glad it helped you! Thanks for the kind words!

[@johnd12009]

Had this same exact problem, my latch was loose as all of the screws had just fallen out over the years (dealership neglected to tell me this), and wanted to charge me $300+ to "fix" it. So I took the door apart as you demonstrated, moved the latch back in position and used new screws I bought at Home Depot for $2. The other door happened to have ONE screw remaining on the bottom (which was all I needed to find replacement screws) so I have replaced all the screws and now my keyless entry works again. Thanks so much for putting this up!!!

I had the same problem w/the rear/lower door latch. Thanks so much for the awesome vids! Keep up the good work!

Planes fly so low in your neighborhood. Ha Ha I love it.

[@ForNikaeen]

How do you then pop off the upper plastic panel to the side of the window in order to replace the glass?

[@GuntherSnaps]

follow instructions in part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpK9o2B6bJporbM

[@osvaldocortazar1343]

Hi nice video ! Do you have how to change the glass of the same door ???

[@GuntherSnaps]

I don’t. I’m sorry

[@ja87sm9]

Is the door skin open at all? Is there a way to pop out dents from the inside

[@stagesmith]

Do you happen to know how to get into the seat-belt retractor? My 2008 Element has the retractors in the back of the seat rather than the door, and they are starting to not retract the seat-belts reliably. Any help would be appreciated.

[@GuntherSnaps]

I don’t. I’m sorry. I’ve only dealt with ones mounted to the door. :(

Is this any different with a 2007 honda element sc

[@mikecormack2002]

Great video! How do I get the slotted pocket off? I want to add a grill there so I can keep small pieces and not worry about them falling out of the door? Thanks!

👍🏼

[@davidlloyd3589]

Have you done a video replacing the exterior door handle on the rear door?

[@GuntherSnaps]

I have not. I can make one for you but its not going to be until it warms up a bit. Im from chicago. Not the best weather to be working on cars lol

[@davidlloyd3589]

GuntherSnaps I enjoy your videos. I understand about the cold weather. It was cold here last week and I think that caused me to break the door handle.

[@GuntherSnaps]

i just broke my hood latch handle last week it was so cold! lol this thing.. hondaelementparts.com/shop/hood-latch-release-cable-repair-kit-handle-honda-civic-96-2005-crv-97-2006-element-03-2011/

[@GuntherSnaps]

is this the one that broke? hondaelementparts.com/shop/genuine-honda-parts-72640-scv-a01-passenger-side-rear-door-handle-outer/

[@davidlloyd3589]

GuntherSnaps yes that is the part. I have one being shipped to me right now.

[@Hypocrite-ical]

Quick question - could you show how to remove the upper portion covering the lock actuator? I have to replace it and am not having a lot of luck finding quality instructions on doing so for an Element.

[@GuntherSnaps]

so you are looking for a video taking the upper plastics off? the tan piece above the door?

[@Hypocrite-ical]

I'm trying to find a video showing how to remove the piece above the one removed in this video - the piece that the seat belt is anchored into next to the window. Also, I forgot to mention - this was a really good video.

[@GuntherSnaps]

well thank you! okay ill try to make another video showing you how to take that piece off

[@karenjohnson47]

GuntherSnaps that would be awesome if you could show how to take that upper piece off for me as well. I need to change out the lock mechanism

[@GuntherSnaps]

ill make it this week!
