Honda Pilots have a serious anti theft system . If you bypass the key fob unlock and Manuel door key unlock don't work and you have to access inside vehicle another way..the steering wheel locks and if you manage to unlock the steering wheel the wheels lock up so the tires won't roll . So the vehicle will NOT move even if you start it and put in drive oe reverse. It will NOT roll . Yeah for some reason my key stopped manually unlocking the door . I have an 2008 Honda Pilot. which is a High Performance Vehicle. The engine is solid even when everything else breaks down. The sound system is awesome. I also have a 2013 Honda Pilot sound system is not as strong as the 2008.

This was super helpful. A couple of things that worked for me. You're not trying to salvage the old top so no need to be gentle with it. Once you have a couple of staples out you can cut straight across it with scissors. Then it's easy to pull off. After that most of the staples will be half out and easy to grab with pliers. Also, I put a couple of staples in to hold it in the right place then got the rest with hot glue. It's precise and has very little wait. I haven't had bad luck (or more likely bad skill) with spray adhesives

I started my repair a while back to do while I was recovering from knee surgery. Everything was very simple and straightforward until the re assembly. I had a big issue during the reassembly with trying to re-stable the new cover to the plastic piece. I tried multiple staple guns and staples and nothing would penetrate the plastic piece. I shelved the project and stuck a pillow where I pulled the arm rest out. Going forward and getting to the project after months, I went to a furniture upholsterer and asked if they had a pneumatic staple gun that would penetrate the plastic piece. Their staple gun didn’t work either and I was directed to using stainless steel staples which “ I think” I had already tried. So, using that Gorilla glue, I Like That!! Thanks for the Video!!

@jp_two3 3 жыл бұрын

Dude! The instructions to the repair were to a T. Few items to share on my experience. Key to removing staples (used a 5 point and pliers), start wrapping from front center (look for a small V cut on leather and align to notch under the cover), when appling gorilla spray avoid center. (allows ability to easily stretch), avoid wrinkles by lifting and resetting. Total time 1 hr (plus overnight for leather to stretch).

If you have a Ridgeline the method is different. Slide the armrest towards the dash. Don’t unscrew anything. Look inside the sliding track and locate the two slide stop tabs on each side. Ignore the thing in the middle. Use an 8” or longer medium size flathead to press the tabs down and slide it off. You might need a second screwdriver and an assistant to slide it off.

You only used glue? Did the spray adhesive last? I know the temps inside a car can range from whatever cold temp to even hotter than the highest outside temp. That’s to say a glue would have to adhere to both the leather and the bonded surface in both extremes, for years! Say from -20°F (-6°c) in winter to like 150°F (65°c) in direct sunlight!
