It’s great. Just fixed my CRV too and saved me $200 bucks. Thank you so much.
10/10 hack fix, 2/10 volume level. The kid in the background is louder than the recorder sometimes. Other than that, excellent demonstration.
Fricking brilliant. Smarter than the engineers that designed such a stupid part.
I just paid $520.83 to a non dealer shop for the fix. $320 for just the parts alone.
Best wishes, from Texas
Well I have to say it took me awhile about an hour. But it works. Thanks for the video you saved me bunch of 💰 money. 😊.
Thanks for the video!!. It saved me $$$ that didn't need to be spent, fixed both side today thanks again from New Zealand 👍🏼
Thank you for showing this.
I was just going to replace but thought it was awfully wasteful to throw so much metal away for a broken piece of plastic.
Weird they didn’t use metal for that whole part.
Thanks Kai for the brilliant idea, i just finished repairing my crv back seat, it work very good and help saved my $$$
Mine broke and I was looking at the cost for replacements parts. Thank god for guys with zip ties. Thank you, you just saved me several 100s repairing my cr-v.
Muchas gracias x el vídeo. Es buenísimo!!😃
Wow crazy, it save 1.200.000 IDR for me. It common problem for seat lock 2nd row CRV 4th gen. Thanks for reference
Excellent and very economical ! Went to several workshops and they were not able to assist. However, I replaced the cable ties with wire, which work very well. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Totally agree. Minor DIY can solve the problem.
Thanks man for the brilliant idea, i just finished repairing my crv back seat
Thank you Kai Chen! Works perfect. It took me a while to understand the metal bracket is not in the original position but rather behind the metal catch. It saves me several trips to the dealer, waiting for parts, installation etc. Very likely the new original part will break again after 4-5 years in the hot weather.
For our CRV the right side was broken and while I was studying the left side it broke as well. Seems the plastic becomes brittle and when you release the latch to quick it just breaks off. The tie-rips will hold much longer I'm sure :) Thanks again!
Great to heard that it works for you. If you can find a stainless steel tie-rips, I think it can last even longer and won't broke due to any weather condition.
Thank you so much, sorted out using your instructions
Brilliant one! Thanks for sharing!
OMG!!!! Thank you so much! That was easy especially for a girl on a budget. It helped that my fingers are little. Yay! You rock! p.s. couldn’t find metal ties that fit the holes so I used the black ties. All good for now. Still saved me $150+.
does it still work
Wow! I was expecting to need a new part at about $145. After watching this video, 30 minutes later and two zip ties I already had, Done. Works perfectly. Thank you SO MUCH! I did remove the whole latching assembly to make it easier to do the zip ties.
Great to hear that it solved your problem. I totally agreed that removing the latching is easier to repair. I think if you use a better zip ties such as stainless steel type, it can last longer.
@@kcgoh01 Thanks. We will see how it goes. Waiting for the other side to fail!! At least I now know how to release the back of the seat!!
Facing same issue, thank you very much for the sharing, will try..
Thanx. Really helped. Saved some money today.👍🏽
Thank you brother.. you rock!! just fix it..
Thank you so much, it works great.
Thanks sharing....it works & save my money....
Thanks for this. I just repaired my crv. It gives me save RM500.
Great to hear that... hope you like it
Great Brother 👍

Brilliant 👍🏻
I think you saved me $200!!!
Thanks, you save my money 😍😍
Nuhun lur. Mantap
Thanks champ!
you have no idea how many people you have help. screw honda for making that shit design to fail. Hats of dude.
Nice
Thank you very much
Hope it helps. Cheers
Thanks for the video it helped a lot! I would suggest taking the latch off (3 bolts). It makes it easier to attach the metal piece.
No, It's still easy without taking off the 3 bolts
Thank you for posting this hack. Have exactly the same problem.( Plastic part broke off ).Plastic encasing metal ,its bound to be heated up ,in our Malaysia climate -hot sun when we park in the open . Cannot understand why Honda cannot make all metal part. Surely with all the breakages , its the weakest part in their seat recliner . They charge RM 500 for complete assembly (VERY EXPENSIVE ) and No stock at PJ service centre. This really frustrates us Honda customers . Both mine ,left and right side have broken now .
Same as mine. I have done both side as well.
If you want it to last, instead of zip ties, use bailing wire
Thanks for the video. Did you put the cable with the steel balls back into the piece you took out?
Thanks for viewing the video. Yes, Amber. You need to put the cable with the steel balls back, or else you are not able to pull the latch and alight the chair.
Very smart fix for a poor quality part!
Wow this will save me at least $450 Aus Honda want to charge $150 per hour to fix!!
Not sure how long this will last but beats the hell out of spending $250 to fix two latches. when we rarely use the seats down anyway. Great share. Hope you and your family are well.
Great video, I did the same but used three zip ties just to make sure that they hold.
Where did you get the plastic latch tool and what is it called?
it called car plastic crowbar pullboard buckle door plate removal audio navigation modified tool. Just search around in google. I thin you can get it from amazon
Is this plastic piece with metal part separately available at honda store or it will come as complete set
It comes with complete set.
Hello .. what is the name of yellow tool. I’ve tried to use screwdriver but it doesn’t work for my back left seat of crv 2013.
It called car plastic crowbar pullboard buckle door plate removal audio navigation modified tool. Just search around in google.
Did you can lay the seat to step 2? My passanger seat can't sett to step 2 position becase the tie stuck the path.
Mine not able to adjust to step 2 as well.
Oic. Has you try use the thinner ties? I thinking try change with thinner ties so the latches wouldn't stuck.
I break the cover 😅, so I order the new cover, maybe 2-4 Days the cover will ready at the Honda store.
UPDATE. I finish change the 2nd ties with the thinner one (2.5 x 100 mm) and the single one still using the thicker (for the stronger hold). It can sett the seat to step 2 smoothly. Thanks bro for your creative information. It proofs save the money 😊
Just fix it
why are you whispering
