My impression/opinion is... no its not hard at all to remove them technically. But to remove them without BREAKING the clips is hard! That is the part I am sweating. How to get them out 100% whole? On my 93, the previous owner had a custom paint job. Samba green with extra transparent candy green in the clear. Basically made a 3 stage green. It really adds depth, but there will be no matching the paint with a new part if I fail. Thank you for taking the plunge and showing the part off. Maybe knowing the correct angles the clips go in will help me pull the correct way to remove them without breaking them! I am watching your project for motivation to do the same to mine! Thank you for showing your efforts! I applaud you!
I just found out there are or is a drainage near the gas tank for water going in behind the rear window... the guy said you don't have to take anything off to get to it/them... so if it's clogged and water gets stuck down there, it's easy to unclog etc.... do you know anything about this? Thanks!
I recommend you watch my “removing and installing rear window in a del sol” definitely lots to take off. Del sols leak everywhere lol watch my vids on this I think I cover all leaks they leak from
Just picked up a rust free Del Sol Si with the typical issues. Door handles (need lubed). Targa top seals and handles broke. Hood latch problem. Center console door falling off. Trunk lifts worn out. Black paint rough looking. Some of the parts are next to impossible to find new. Hood latch and cable. Targa seals. Ect.
Lmaoo I know what you mean, even if you fix all the leaks, then targa top leaks by the window seal but yea man I love them, they’re different. I just put up with the drops on my leg or arm when it rains, only few drops every now and then.
Jaythesizzler hey man, I had that problem, and it ended up ruining my original ECU. I had to take off the molding / panel below the windshield in the exterior and clean out the drain holes, they are clogged. When they get clogged, the water finds itself into the passenger side and gets your ECU wet.
No it's the air intake for the fan, you can stop it by turning on your internal air circulation, if you want to get rid of it you have to get to the air intake and make a rain shield. It's a design flaw
Pulling the inner panel makes it easier to detach the middle clip. A long flat head from the inside with a slight tug is all it takes for the center piece.
I got a Del Sol that I'm slowly fixing up. So I greatly appreciate this series!
Corey Burks thank you, I appreciate it!

Great video 👍🏻 thanks man! I'm about to start this job on mine 😅

I noticed you have the studs behind the sail for the ski rack, very rare option at manufacture.
And an original samba green too
Didn’t have Honda bond but used some weatherproof sealant bout to go test mine for leaks. Thanks for putting up these videos!
Very helpful video, thank you very much!
Make it work homie! Classic Honda’s... gotta do what ya gotta do. Oh, like that 4th gen Prelude in the background! 😎👌🏻
Hi Kaleb, can you go into the 3rd brake light and replace bulbs/LEDs? I have a few out on my light bar... and I'm OCD, too! or is it a sealed unit ?
Great video
Thank you for the video. I'm painting my del sol and need to take it apart as much as I can. The sail panels almost got me . . . Almost.
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
You are so welcome

@@SwishLifeGarage Okay, Thanks! Just found it!!
I pulled off my sail panels. No breaks, rips, or tears. I think the clips at the top let water in and then leak at the back top by the door glass.
Nice video man
Do you have a tear down video of the interior and trunk?

What is it for item what you use by the clips?
The white think.
Thanks
Dont even got a delsol but i like watching the delsol bids
Where are you buying the brake light clips from
I get all my OEM parts from Majestic Honda
I need the small red covers for the third brake lights too, left and right, would they have them where you buy your parts please?
What’s the stuff called you put on the clips before you put them back on the car?
It’s Honda bond gasket maker
I broke 3 tabs on one then none on the other
after that did it leak again?
i love the del sol and own one but its just one big water leak, like the whole damn car
Lmaoo I know what you mean, even if you fix all the leaks, then targa top leaks by the window seal but yea man I love them, they’re different. I just put up with the drops on my leg or arm when it rains, only few drops every now and then.
What is this hondabond and where do I buy it?
its the type of silicon gasket maker Honda uses from factory, can get it at the dealership.
@@SwishLifeGarage ah i ser
Hey bro I have a 97 del sol but when it rains. I’ve been having a leak on the passenger floor in the footwell. How can I fix that.

Check the drain for your A/C also. Happened to a neighbors del sol fried his ecu too.
