Thank you for making this video! All of my molding disintegrated this year. The mechanic wanted to charge me $1000 to replace all 4. Now I'm going to do it myself.

Just finished the passenger side. Hint: when removing the mirror, plug up the space below the three 8MM bolts with wads of paper towel. This way when (not if, when) you drop one of the nuts, it doesn't fall down into the door panel. And use gloves for this job. The rubber molding has turned into some kind of tar and it's hard to wash off your hands.

Just replaced all 4 of mine pretty easily thanks to your tutorial. I used a magnet while unscrewing the bolt behind the mirror and put a rag in the gap in case one dropped. I was sent the newer TAO-A02 versions for all 4 windows, hopefully they last longer. 72410-TA0-A02 R FR 72910-TA0-A02 R RR 72450-TA0-A02 L FR 72950-TA0-A02 L RR Note: Always double check the fit guide on the site to make sure it fits your car. Thanks again!!

I really appreciate you making this video. I just changed out my 2012 Honda Accord moldings and felt badass afterward because I seemed pro. It worked out beautifully and saved hundreds thanks to your instruction. Thanks, buddy.

Thanks for this great how-to! Just finished all 4 windows on my '12 Accord; (3rd one for drivers' door). Seems like the part number was incremented, so hopefully never again. Was really dreading that one mirror bolt, but had plenty of room for a skinny box-wrench. Glad I stuffed the hole with a plastic grocery bag; I fumble-fingered the first one...bag saved the day! All told, 1.5 hours start-to-finish, for all 4 windows.

Thanks for this. I'm going to attempt this on Saturday and this will help. Fingers crossed!

I was looking for instructions for how to do this on my 08 Acura TL, there were none. This was very helpful!

Thanks man, much better quality compared to other videos

Great video, thanks for putting this together. I followed it almost to the T, but started with the rear trim which was real simple (no mirror removal). Follow the steps as the video says and you’ll have no problem. Only had one of the white clips break during removal but wasn’t too worried about it since my new trim pieces came with them. I’ll admit it was the last piece and I was in a time crunch to finish. One tip for the mirrors: the one nut that’s in the tight corner wasn’t too bad. The universal/swivel is one way to go but I opted just to break the initial torque with a small 5/16” wrench then worked it mostly off with my fingers and for the final turns I put my magnet on it as I spun it off so it wouldn’t drop. Not bad just take your time.

Gonna do this today on my 2011 accord. I thought that these falling apart was my fault, so I'm glad to see it's not just me

Thanks for this! Your video definitely saved me some time. I packed some paper towel into that crevice & it prevented the bolt from falling in. The same bolt was missing on the driver's side so Honda lost it when they did the same job 30,000 miles ago😑

Thanks for the video! Just thought I’d throw my little two cents in. If you remove the rubber trim on the top of the door and the plastic trim next to where the speaker was a little bit it makes it a whole lot easier to get that bottom nut. Still may want to plug it with some paper towels but sure does give you some more room to get to it. Easy fix thanks!

Thank you for making and posting this. I did all four windows yesterday. Before seeing this I didn't even know there were molding elements; I thought they glued the weather stripping onto the chrome part at the factory or something. All went smooth and quickly except for those lower forward mirror nuts. I found after detaching the two electrical connectors (speaker and mirror) and moving them to the rear, I could get a finger into the slot, under the bolt. I used a driver extension with a small hex bit that easily fit into the hole of the nut, and pressed the bit, through the nut, against the bolt, to help hold it in place as I turned the nut with my finger. It was a little awkward, but it worked.

Outstanding video! Working on this kind of stuff always seems so difficult if you don't do it very often. It was nice to see it done, so I know what to expect. My 2011 Accord has this same problem.

Thanks for making this man, I appreciate it

I really appreciate the time you took to make this. It really simplified the process and saved me some time figuring this out. A tip for getting out that lower mirror nut without having to take the panel off, if you have a Klein tools screwdriver the shaft that holds the bits is 8mm like the size you need to get those out. Using a needle file you can file out an opening in the door interior to where you can get the screwdriver shaft in there and break it that way. When you pop the speaker cover back on it hides it as well. Thanks again for the video

Well that was easy. Just bought the same model and this was the first issue I noticed. Yours was the first video I watched. Problem solved. Thanks!

I just replaced them all 4, got them on eBay from China for $84.00 dlls all 4 of them, so far so good, thanks for the helpful video.

Thanks for the video. I just bought a used 2010 Accord and the seals on all 4 doors are bad. I ordered the parts, and thanks to your video, I'll be replacing them this week.

Thanks for doing this. helped me find the part.

Thank You for the video,going to give it a try on my 2010 accord.i will order parts and make the change. thanks again Kelly in Ca.

Thank u very much for making the video 🙏 I just bought mine off amazon for under $90 and they seem pretty good... the dealership is a rip-off!!! Thank again for making it easier for me to swap these out 👊

Thanks for creating this how to video. Just ordered a set of replacements from Honda Parts Unlimited. You should be getting a kick back from them!

I just finished this project, and this video was extremely helpful. I had a lot of trouble with that last screw. I found that if I was careful, I could remove and replace the molding without removing that screw. Thank you very much for providing this video.

Nice work, thanks for sharing, this's exactly what I wanted to learn!!

Thanks for the vid! Very informative

Thanks bro. I have the same issue with my 2012, but only on the front driver side so far. The other three windows are doing fine. Guess I’m lucky. Thanks for the detailed info. It will make it way easier for me. You’re awesome bro!

Same issue on my 2009 Accord...gooey rubber strip that peels away. Horrible materials. Had to be the vendor, my Element is older and the belt moulding on the windows has held up for 15 years! Shout out to SO CAL SPEED SHOPS too! Nice how ya got that in the opening shots!!

You are freaking awesome! I just did it! Dealership wanted $628.00 to do the same thing I just did. EBay, $38.00

Thanks for the great video - Purchased 2011 Window molding strips for all 4 doors ($35 from Ebay including shipping + tax). Correct, that corner nut is the most the Mirror difficult. Here's what worked for me (Didn't have to call the wife LOL) .... 1. TAKING THE 8mm NUT OFF ---- Placed small 2"x2" plastic bag, open at the top, under the difficult 8mm nut and secured the bag with Duct tape, sure enough the nut fell into the plastic bag and I was able to remove the bag and take out the 8mm nut. 2. PLACING THE 8mm NUT BACK ON ---- Placed small 2"x2" plastic bag under the difficult 8mm bolt, open at the top, and secured the bag with Duct tape. Cannot get my medium size finger into the area, so I placed 8mm nut onto small size flat screwdriver and move the nut about 1" from the flat tip. Now place the tip of the screwdriver onto the flat end onto mirror bolt and keeping it pressed there. Next slide the nut onto bolt and use pinky finger or pointed pick to rotate the nut to start threads onto the bolt. Remove the 2"x2" plastic bag and tighten 8mm with pliers or 8mm spanner.

Nice video, thanks a ton. Any advice on changing interior stuff like seats? Headliners?

Super thank you. I order the parts online for my sister 2011 honda accord. Well lets say with your guidance was something not out of this world. In parts about $200 and the dealer charging $686 so I was able to save her about $400. I did it my self and took me about 2 hours because I took my time to make sure I don't do any further damage. Thank you so much

Almost 3 years later Honda still has not upgraded their product. I am trying to save and Honda had made it so difficult. Honda still needs to get their s*** together and get a new vendor. I could not find OEM parts without going directly to Honda and I refuse to pay their cost which was over $500 for parts and labor. :0 --- I ordered parts but not from Honda. I don't have a garage go figure as a gal but I'll give it a shot :). I really appreciate this video. Thanks so much \/ peace out...

Thanks for the saved me a few bucks and doesn't look all the difficult to do! My windows were getting "tar" on them from these cheep moldings.

Great video. I've already ordered the molding/Belts for all mine. When will we see you working on your 48 Truck? Would love to compare with my 52 Ford Panel truck. Cheers!

Thank you very much they came out good just a little bit off In the back window

Thank you for video..and yes taking out Booger nut was Painful !! And since I didn't have Tool like you I had to use a lot of strength to make room to loosen the nut ..and I also dropped nut despite your warning ( and left nut inside door ) ..Sorry !!

Thanks for posting!

Thank you so much for this video! The Honda dealer wanted to charge me close to $500 to replace the driver and passenger molding for one side! By any chance do you know the part # you used when you ordered the molding? I also have a 2012 accord, and just want to make sure I'm getting the right part.

Thanks for the video! My 2011 has the same problem. I ordered an aftermarket set on Amazon for $60. Hopefully they hold up. Time will tell.

Thanks for the video!

Lovely video man! Do you know how to replace the weather strip on the door? Trying to find video about it but I can't find any. I have a 2009 honda accord sedan so I don't think it would be too much different!

First of all, thanks for this video, it's great! Just curious if you asked a honda mx center if there was a service bulletin regarding this issue or if they would replace it for free? I'm guessing that they probably told you to pack sand... Anyway, it is crap that those seals are such poor quality!!!

Thanks! My 2011 same.

I like the truck man, cool

Thank you!

Here are what I think the part numbers are for 2008 - 2012 Honda Accords. My car is a 2011 and this is what came up. 72410-TA0-A01 MOLDING ASSY., Right Front Door $58.97 72910-TA0-A02 MOLDING ASSY., Right Rear Door $54.15 72950-TA0-A01 MOLDING ASSY., Left Rear Door $54.15 72450-TA0-A01 MOLDING ASSY., Left Front Door $58.97 The prices shown are from Honda Parts Unlimited. They seem to be the cheapest I can find. You can probably do better if you start looking at used parts, but the used ones will most likely be in the same, crappy condition as yours.

Mr. is this parts # can fit my honda accord 2010. I am whiling to do myself. I will try it.

So it’s close to 3 years now. How are they holding up? I’m about to order some. Thanks for the video!

What did you search for on the website to pull it up? Could you drop the link for a 2012 honda accord? I can't find it on the website anywhere

i cant seem to find the parts.. can you please give me the direct link sir?.. thank you very much

For the front belt molding removal, was it necessary for the side view mirror to be removed?

Was this hard? How long did it take?

Thanks' for the video, it is bullshit on Honda's part this is a constant money maker for them my local Honda dealer wanted close to $320 for the parts and like another $300 for labor. Our 2004 Yukon's stripping still looks brand new.

Might be yours. I have an 09 I bought new in the spring of 09. Just now have 2 bad ones in the fall of 2020

Have a question regarding the replacement part. Since you purchased an "OEM" part, did you suffer the same rot with your replacement?

Used a small 90 degree needle nose pliers to catch that front bolt and then used the same pliers to put it back. Once I had it on the stud I used the pliers pushed against the stud as a guide to finger the bolt on. I know, but it was pretty easy. I too bought aftermarket on Amazon for the low $40’s for the set of 4. They line up perfectly and look great. Guess I’ll see how they last. Thanks for your video. It really helped.

I have a 2008 Honda Accord with deteriorating window stripping/molding. I'm concerned with the daily rains might be short circuiting the wiring inside the doors and other electrical areas in my car. I'm not mechanically inclined with cars and can't afford the Honda dealership, so it looks like I'll be doing this job myself even though I don't even have the correct tools. I viewed the websites for both links mentioned in these comments -- HondaPartsUnlimited.com AND HondaPartsOnline.net. As of 8/13/2020 on HondaPartsUnlimited.com, the front door moldings are $89 and the back door moldings are $81. As of 8/13/2020 on HondaPartsOnline.net, the front door moldings are marked down from $87 to $65, and the back door moldings are marked down from $80 to $60. Garage Buildz n Fab mentioned this site in the comments, and the website claims to be "Honda Genuine Parts & Accessories". It definitely has the better price of the two websites.

Thanks for the video, for my 2005 accord they are $128 each from that website...lol wtf

my is wear out all of them front and rear weather strips....

I want to say, NEVER buy the window moulding from eBay. I did and I had to replace them with Honda OEM parts.

Questionn: so as i wait for my parts, i am still getting car washes at this moment. Should i worry that water is hiding somewhere? Whats the worst that happens while these are damaged & it rains or u have car washes. ?

Dam thanks Honda does need a new company for this shit.

Right get your shit together honda! lol

it is mandatory to remove the mirrors

Cómo why no one explains how to remove the twitter. That shut is fucking tightas hell Im afraid to break it

Because, they use a used parts, they are really dishonest. I have the some issue with my honda accord. 2010

🤣🤣🤣 honda get your shit together. For realz

Im doing mine this weekend ordered from ebay for $60 all 4 of them And they cost $100 dollars a piece at the stealership.what a ripoff
