Nice video. For something that Honda knows will wear out fairly soon, it would've been nice if they had a simple way to access the armrest from the interior only, with no need to remove the whole door panel. Maybe just a couple of screws that hold a flip down section just under the armrest.
Seriously im a female Who wants to attend to do this but I feel like I'll screw it up even more! Ughhh!! The center console is also wore out! My car is only a 2009 and it looks terrible!
@@jennifermarie1230I hope you tried it! If not give it a go! I just replaced mine and the center console. It wasn’t as scary as it looks! I was able to do it without disconnecting all the wires in the door.
I have a 2012 honda accord and the armrests both on the sides and middle are the weak spots. Thanks for doing this video. I've already replaced the middle console lid and have leather to Re-upholster the plastic pieces. While you didn't remove and apply new leather (opting for full replacement) showing me the connectors and bits to get the door panel off was really what I needed. Thanks for the video, these bits were the weakest spot in my car and likely every 2008-2012 honda/acura.
First, THANK YOU so much for this video! I had been trying to find an armrest to replace the worn on on my 2012 and thought..."I can do it myself"...maybe not now that we have to take out the entire door panel. Man I miss my Dad!!! But I will give it a try.
You're doing a nice job bro, simple and useful. Love the accord, such a reliable car, and so beautiful also. I'm driving 1992 accord with so much fun, just subscribe to support your channel
I agree. I went in thinking it would pop out from the top and replace in 30 seconds… not worth a video for RUclips I thought. 1 hour later completing the other door, I thought… yup definitely a RUclips video now 🙂

Hopefully they read your comment and make some adjustments or better yet… make the leather indestructible 😄
Exactly!!!

My daughter and i replaced hers thanks to your video. We were so proud of ourselves.
Great job! Glad my video helped you ladies!
Great directions. I was able to change out my arm rests with no issues. Thanks for making this.
Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! I just needed to get the door panel off and this helped
23 minutes and 1 curse word to complete. Thank you very much

Thanks bro! Yeah this car has been through some very rough owner abuse and it’s still running like no other.
Nice video. Refreshing that there is no dumb music or bad jokes.
Thank you for making this! I did it step by step and it worked!
Nice 👍 glad it helped you out!
Thank you my Albanian Friend I follow the procedure and I fixed it, Darko Popovski
Thanks for the feedback!
Absolute fucking madness that they made it this difficult just to replace the arm rest
That’s exactly what I was thinking…
Great...clear video and good verbal comments!
Thank you!
Do you know how to remove the wood door trim underneath those armrests? That’s something I’ve been wanting to do
Hey! Did you ever try to get the bubbling leather replaced on the Crosstour, on the door panels?
No I didn’t have a chance to. Sold the car a little bit after this.
Thank you for the response,@@AlbanianFix ! Did it look like you could get it re-upholstered? Faliminderit!
Gotta do this to mine. Hopefully it'll go this smooth lol
lol, it will.
Nice videos man. You a pro. Where did you order the leather from ?
I updated the description. Thank you!
Straight to the point 👍
Thanks 😊
Just ordered a set just like yours off eBay as well.. $8 +tax and free shipping
Nice 👍
OMG NO WAY
Lol
Awesome video gana replace mines too

Did I have to purchase trim panel tools?
No, just the arm rest.
Hi thanks for the video where i can buy them ?
It’s in the comment section.
Where do you get the pry forked tool?
It’s in the description now. Thanks for reminding me.
Wow ,,, you have to take the whole door panel off to replace those small arm rests
Yeah it's not designed very good.
Where did you purchase the item?
Amazon
Can you please post the link?
Where is the link?
Wheres the link man
@@jed2812 ebay has them for 20 bucks free shipping
Overkill for a simple arm rest replacement

1 hour later completing the other door, I thought… yup definitely a RUclips video now 🙂
Jeez. That’s waaaaaay too complicated.
Yeah unfortunately...
Dear god. Are you serious!!!!!!
😂
That has THE dumbest design for an armrest.
Agree!
