Here's a tip from what another commenter brought up. Honda sells, of course, both Lithium grease and Silicone grease. The difference is - Lithium grease is petroleum based so it should not be used on plastic or rubber (like door seals). It sticks well to metal. Silicone grease is silicone based and sticks well to many surfaces and will not deteriorate plastic and rubber.

If you look closely you can see the arm on the center bearing jerk when it changes direction, lubricating the track is going to be a temporary fix at best. Our Odyssey's left sliding door still works smoothly because the right side is the one that gets the most use. I ended up replacing the right side center bearing because one of the two rollers had broken off. Here is an easy way to tell. With both doors closed open both doors using the master switch on the dash. When the doors get about half way open turn the master switch (above the sliding door open / close switches) to the off position. This will stop the doors. Now you can carefully slightly rock each door back and forth while looking at the arm on the center support bearing. If one or both of the bearings are worn or broken there will be a lot of side to side movement. Keeping the lower roller clear of debris, where does all that stuff come from! and lubing the seals are excellent suggestions.

One would think you should know the top rail has a plastic like rubber bumper door stop that will melt in hot weather and either fall off or turn into a very sticky like tar that gets all over the inside top door. The door stops are about $8 apiece and very simple to put on and you can see how easily they will come off when melted. goo gone works to remove the sticky mess inside the door and will stop the door from sticking when opening.

THANK YOU, thats whats I will do tomorrow on my 2005 Odyssey

Awesome tip, guys! I need to go get some of this for my Odyssey.

Man Don't put lithium grease on rubber. It is wrong, the rubber will fade and crack. Put silicone grease or silicone paste. Lithium is not good for rubber

A very good video on how to use lithium grease on a sliding door of a van. I just bought a Mazda 5

Try superzilla, throughout all the rest.silicone based

Thank you gentlemen..

Blaster Lithium Grease is safe on rubber and plastic.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that track in the body, just behind the slider when it's closed, just pop out? I'd think it'd make it easier to lube that track if that piece came out easy

You shouldnt never apply grease on tracks, they will accumulate a dust and particles so it make it in the future even worse!!!! only for bearings and pivot if needed

Ok, got it. Ok, thanks for the idea.. ok, i love the video.. Ok, lubricat it.. ok, ok...

Okay....... good tips.

Honda makes a special grease for the door gasket. Lithium is not correct. This though is ok as a temporary fix only.

Muchas gracias, thank you.

Thank you

I have black grease can I use it on latch and hinges no white lithuim grease . On seals I will apply rubber dressing

Thank u❤

Is it safe to smoke while spraying the lubricant?

My right door makes noise like a rattle when driving. Dealer fixed it several times under warranty, but each fix only lasted a month. Each time I got it back, the door seals were very sticky. What's a permanent fix?

The rollers work fine on my mom's Odyssey, but the rubber seal, is near GLUED to the door, making it near impossible for my frail mom or her friends to get the door to unseal and open. What can we use to disrupt this adherence of the two pieces?

Hi there, time to lube my van, is it ok to pressure wash those rails before applying lubricant ?

OK...!

Can I use silicone lubricant?

عندى مشكله فى باب الاوديسى 2005مش بيفتح ولا يقفل الا لما اشيل الفيوز رقم'5, 7واركبه تانى يشتغل مرتين او تلاته ويعطل تانى وارجع اشيل نفس الفيوز مرتين ويعطل تانى وكل كهربائي يطلع عيب مختلف عن التانى اعمل يا اهل الخبرة وشكرا

I,ve watched this a couple of times to get the name of the ‘grease’ he,s spraying on the cloth or paper towel to apply to the seals around the door. It appears to me it’s WD 40, if that’s so, STOP !!! I sprayed WD40 on my back window to help remove a sticker and it dissolved the seal around the window.

Waste of time, makes it seem ok but is temporary. The car needs a new center roller, most common problem, dealer master tech here.

On my Odyssey the plastic wheels broke and binded up and the cable snapped. Now both by doors had to have the rollers changed and they don't close on their own anymore. So now they're just manual. Honda only sells the motor with the cable and they're 500 bucks each and they are a huge pain in the ass to change. It wasn't worth it for me on a 13 year old van.

Replace bearing its metal on metal!!!

Good video i do jave a question do you know what would be wrong wen all the windows dont go down only the driver window work and its not the fuse plz help thanks

Can you use regular WD-40?

Hi Bud, I am your video watcher... I have 2006 BMW X3. AC is fully charged and AC clutch is engaging fine but I am not getting any COLD air... AC switch is ON and Cold air toggle vent is set to BLUE but still no COLD air... any advise?

DON'T USE LITHIUM ON RUBBER.

Should he be smoking while spraying WD40????

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What if I use regular WD-40?

In 2021 you can trade that White Lithium Grease for some Woke Lithium Grease of Color.

I get the feeling that this is super temporary... hackjob... but shit the less effort for a car fix the better AH AH AH

Dude can’t even put the cancer stick down for just a few mins to make a video...

Love the cigarette ..........

If you plan on making a video. Plan ahead. You worked on a the door right up against another car. You could have moved the van around it so you had space to move around while making your video. You guys could barely fit in the space you had. Have you demonstrator hold off on putting a freaking cig in his mouth like he was doing a job that mattered to him. I noticed it was not lit, but the vid was a total of 5 mins, you'd think he could have put it off for that amount of time and pretended to liked his job. Cravings are cravings, but it was only 5 mins.

👍😎👍

His voice is so annoying

do not do that if brand new car.
