Honda CRZ Door Handle Replacement! 2011-2016
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2019
- Hey guys!
Finally decided on fixing the CRZ door handle. Thanks to UBANTE Garage for making a guide video. Hoping to add another perspective of the replacement process.
What you will need (What I used):
-LEFT (driver side door handle.)
ebay.to/330YiUD
- Phillips or JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) Screwdriver.
- Plastic clip removal tool.
- Flathead Screwdriver.
- 5mm Allen key
- 10mm socket + wrench or impact gun.
-PATIENCE!
Tips:
- The red clip is a pain in the ass, get a light in there.
- The rail is a guide for the window when it goes down. Make sure plastic
- Be careful with the trimming, clips are very delicate and will break!
- Make sure the window is rolled up after you manage to take the panel off.
- The screws will strip if you do not apply enough force on them. Spray some wd-40 and break them carefully.

Treat for you guys if you watch till 7:41 ☺️🙌🏽. THANK YOU!
This happened to both my drivers side AND passenger side . I get into the car through the back 😐😐 not fun and its embarrassing!! Your video gave me some insight on how to fix. I just have NO mechanical experience lol
tik vic holy crap bro! 😐 sorry to hear that! There’s always somewhere to start, might take you a while but I promise it’s worth it! Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for watching 😬
Same 🤦♂️
Same bro
Same here bro 😂crowing through the back is embarrassing
same!! my coworkers looking at me wild when i climb in through the hatch lol
Had one break last week, then my other one yesterday… had to climb in through my trunk 😂
Thank you two years later
Jesus Christ😂. I know that feeling bro! Hope all is well and thanks for watching!!!🙏🏽
Fixing it sounds so much better than climbing through my hatchback every single time I need to go somewhere
We tied a strap on the door secure it with electrical tape and pulled it from the back but we got the door handles for replacement. 😂
Sorry tied the stap onto the door handle
Thank you for taking the time to share this video 3 years later, say hello to your dad.
Three years later I’m still coming back to interact. Thank you for watching! I will show my pops this!🙏🏽
For someone this might help:
I bought a crz that had the issue with broken door handle on the driver side door.
I looked at buying a new door lock replacement but it would cost me approximately NZD300 to just get the part.
I am an engineering student so I thought to myself why can't I come up with my one solution for this.
What i did was to get a linear actuator for car doors from my local electronics shop and hooked that up with a remote relay so I can open the door latch with the remote. Then I installed this Linear actuator inside the door so that it is actually pulled on the door latch from inside so that the door opens.
Now I have a tiny remote for the remote relay along with my actual car key that I press when I want to open the door.
This is kind of an safety feature too in a way haha
Can you upload a video or tutorial on how to do it?
I’m gonna try do all the work on my crz myself. I love it and wanna learn how to take care of it.
i did this repair without watching this video. used the OEM manual. who knew they could over-complicate a freaking door handle so badly. to make matters worse, the small tiny white plastic piece that sits in the handle assembly fell out while i was trying to put the door back together...so i had to take it all back apart and do it again.....
That’s cool you still have your dad helping
Cherish it man
I like the part where half the bolts were missing and 80% of the steps were skipped
Thank you for this. I am starting the process of getting new handles and whatnot because both sides are starting to fail!
Thank you for making a clear, clean description of steps needed to make the repair!!
george j forest Jr thank you for stopping by! I hope this was helpful! 😬🤘🏽. Let me know how it goes if you give it a go!
Fixed my door handle today using your guide as a nice assist. Thanks for making this. Happy new year.
Makes me so happy to hear that bro! Glad this helped 😬🙌🏽. Thank you for stopping by and watching! Happy New Years!
Okay thanks alot for this guide! Together with the other two guides on RUclips I could replace the handle. Some steps are missing in this guide but please people: use your common sense and it is doable! The hardest parts for me: getting rid of one of the Philips Screws, seperating the electrical wire from the keylockmechanism and putting the keylockmechanism back into place so that the metal thing would fit in. I have a red crz but I bought a black door handle. IT looks smashing on the cr-z. Anyway, thanks alot for this guide!!!
Glad I could help in whatever way I could! I appreciate you stopping by and watching! 🙏🏽
THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND ANY INFO ON THIS CAR YOU JUST SAVED ME LIKE 300 IN REPAIRS
Thank you for watching! I hope this helped. I know some people were unhappy because I didn’t show several things but it’s things you’ll understand once you do it. I appreciate you!
Thanks for the video, even though it has plenty of removal, it's not intimidating. You made the repair doable. Also, getting assistance from Dad makes it easier and reassuring that everything works, very cool. Keep on with the CR-Z videos, 👍🖖
Thank you for watching bro!!! I gave the CR-Z to my nephew so he can drive to college! My dad is a G, love him to death and he’s always watching making sure I do it right. Thanks again!
Never really show the real details on how to put it back together. Also what was broken.
Lot of steps missing but thank you Tommy McCoy, I did it!
Sorry about that 🥴. I tried my best! I’m glad you were able to pull it off! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much. I did replaced mine today looking at your video.
That’s amazing! Glad I could provide some sort of help! Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by and watching.!
Sweet, got my new door handle in a couple days ago, finally gearing up to make the change. Nice decks on the wall btw.
Best of luck bro! Let me know how it goes! Thanks for stopping by! Haha and I appreciate it, I need to pick up the board again. Been way too long!
Word! My skates and board stay in my lil bean
Thanks for sharing. my car driver side door already problem that parts. will try it.
Best of luck and thank you for watching! 😬🤙🏽
I knew my next project as soon as I find the part
YOU ARE A SAINT MY MAN! THANK YOU!!!!
Anthony Terrano Lol you’re welcome! Glad I could help. Good luck and thanks for watching 😬👍🏽.
*edit: let me know how your repair goes!
Thank you!
This video made the fix very easy. With the help of a neighbor and this video I was able to replace the handle on my 2011 in about an hour. Most of that time was putting it back together...that was a pain in the neck...but everything went well.
So, thanks.
You’re welcome bro! I’m glad the video helped! Feels good to have a working handle huh? Lol! Thank you for watching and passing through, you are greatly appreciated!
Just got mine replaced today. Passenger side broken. The driver side counting days so had them replaced as well. I couldn't get off the shelf the colour I want. Now have to repaint, what hassle. Whoever the engineer who designed this at honda should be fired 😤
Many thanks for this video ! ... Tried to fix that $%#$ some minutes ago ... now i know that it's not done within some few minutes as expected ... will have to enter my loved CRZ from the co-drivers side for the next days xD
I’ve been there and done that homie! 😂. You can do it! Hope to hear good news soon!
The tutorial was very helpful thank you. I wanted to ask where did you find a new door handle at?
I like how you didn't show any of putting it back together like good shit dude great job
With the camera I was using it would be impossible to see me reinstalling and reconnecting the window rail. That’s the only tedious part of reinstallation. I’d say if you’re able to take the handle off in the first place you will have an okay time putting it back together. Thanks for the input 🥴.
Thanks guys
Thank you for the video, my crz door handle broke last night..I'll try and fix it or take it to Honda.
Sam Toure hope you got it sorted out brotha, thanks for watching.
@@TommyMccoyMedia Thank you.
Cool video thanks man
ChristianX Z owner glad I can help bro! Thanks for watching 😬🙌🏽
Thank you for explaining this ! 8:08
Thanks for posting this video. It inspired me to try and make the repair myself, and I'm not a handy person at all, but I did it!
Hell yeah dude! 😬👏🏽. Congrats! I’m not handy either but here we are, with fixed door handles lol! Thanks for watching!
perfect, thanks! what's the code for the replacement part you used?
An FYI, this won’t ever work for a 2016,
Parts are specific only to 2016 and are way different inside the door, due to new locking mechanism, and keyless entry.
Did not know that! Thanks for your info! 👍🏽 Thanks for watching.
Are the 2016s still prone to breaking? The part number is different but it looks identical in the diagram.
TheEquationSlayer yes mine just fucking broke
@@RxRMedicated Yours fucking broke? Mine just fucking broke too. Fucking handle.
I have the same problem, do I need to buy a new doorhandle at honda? The link in the vid does nog work anymore? Thanks,n
Only 15 more subs!!! You’re almost there! Oh and today was my first day of High School!
Make good decisions and empower those around you. Go get em kid!
Tommy Mccoy Thank you Mr. McCoy!!
Thx man very helpfull
Having trouble with screwing the key lock part back in. I have the new the handle on with the bracket and rod attached inside but can’t seem to get the key lock to line up with the hole and cannot screw in the attatched part!
What part should I order for *passenger's side* to do what is shown here?
I see that 2nd 5mm bolt on the handle gave you some trouble too. Had me hung up for a full day trying to get that lil' bastard out. Nice vid mate!
I appreciate you stopping by and watching! 🙏🏽 haha that thing stressed me out 😂.
@@TommyMccoyMedia Stressed me out too mate. Keep the quality vids going though, good job!
Hi, do you know what the part number is? The ebay link is not working for me. My driver's side has been sticking for a while and just stopped working completely. Anxious to use your guide!
i liked your trim wheel.. i have a blue crz too. can u show me the full car with the white wheels?
Where you got the new handle from I need two .
Can you remove and replace the silver indoor handle as well?
where do you recommend i get a replacement part handle my handle snapped off and I need to replace it. I have a 2011 honda crz blue. same color as yours.
You can order directly from Honda or get it through a verified oem supplier on eBay 😬👍🏽. I got mine on eBay, legit Honda part too! Good luck!
rural japanese guy fills in the gaps but u got the american left hand drive shots that helps lol
🔥🔥🔥
Can you make a video on the reassembly pleeease?
Idk if you still have the car but I got one and I have a couple questions. I need to take out my expansion valve can you help me
Do I need to take the door panel off for side mirror replacement? Nice video!
I have no clue broski! Did you do it?
Hi I just bought this car for my son and he was trying to replace it but didn’t finish , so he closed the door and locked the car now they it’s not unlocking , we are stuck trying to open it any idea ?
Thank you for the video. What a horrible fiddly job though.
Dang, how long did that take? I just bought a 2011 with a handle that sucks on the drivers side.
Where did you get the door handle? And is your repair holding up??
Like an hour and a half! I got the handle from eBay, it was brand new and genuine oem. Here in the hot ass sun of San Antonio almost a year later it’s still going strong!
@@TommyMccoyMedia nice man! I gotta look for a black one. Lol
Can someone tell me the part number or how to order it
I need to replace my wife's. I pull the handle and it doesn't unlatch. Is that the handle or the latch?
Also, did you have to get the new one rekeyed?
So how do you keep it from breaking again off you can’t keep it out of the sun?
How would I contact you? I am refabing the non metal components of the handle assembly. I am making them out of Kevlar stranded continuous carbon fiber, so that it never weakens with heat or breaks. Mine broke a while back and I have been looking for resources to get this done. My local university has a full 3D lab. But...I need an old door handle to scan. I also need some of those small screws and the pivot pin. For some reason they were not in the box that I kept all the parts in while I was figuring this out (DRAT!)
bamakartracer that would be dope if you could figure that part out! 😬🙌🏽. You can follow my Instagram. @tmccoymedia
My fiancé is about to replace his driver side door handle
Holly Goodrich if he has any questions let me know! Would love to help!
@@vegetasgurl01 What is he doing with the old one? I need one I can scan in 3D so I can 3D print it in carbon fiber so it is more durable and less subject to high heat.
bamakartracer my passenger side just broke 🤪. I’ll be replacing it soon. I have the old driver side at home. I’m about to visit, if I find it I can send it out to you! Pm on Facebook or Instagram bro. @tommy.gunnz
Some one change my 2011 Honda CR-Z door handle and mechanism but for some reason the door look and can’t open. Any ideas?
Hey! Thanks for watching. Only thing I can think of is somehow that mechanism isn’t getting power. Something isn’t seeded correctly or you have a short somewhere. Be careful not to pinch any wire on reassembly.
Thanks for the help man 👍
Glad I could help bro! Thanks for watching!
Leaves out a lot. Seems super simple until you actually do it 🤨
How in the heck did your interior panel come off that easy
What a PITA! I’ve never had this problem, but I’m not looking forward to doing this.
Lol it’s definitely tedious but not as bad as one thinks. Give it a shot man! Hope it works for you! Thanks for watching.
My turn to replace the handle. Any advice on where to purchase the part?
I got lucky and got it from EBAY. Apparently the supplier no longer has it in stock. You can find it there from another seller and even buy a used one. Best bet is to go through the dealer. I wish you the best of luck and thanks for watching!
Also looking. And debating if i should 3d print any of the parts to increase reliability.
will need to save this for the future, so worry ... :(
😔 I’m sorry, but hey. At least now you have a reference! It is doable and believe me, it makes you so much prouder of the car. Lol. Thanks for watching!
They look cable operated - can the cable tension be adjusted?
I didn’t tinker with that. I’ll ask my nephew though. He has to do it to the passenger side.
What’s you find out? Mine still opens, but only from a specific Angel, most of my friends can’t open the door.
I have same problem
Hope it gets resolved soon! Have a buddy working on an aftermarket fix!
How long did it take you to do this job bro?
A couple of hours! Was pretty quick! 🙏🏽
You literally skipped the only part I needed...
Whats up tommy!!
Sup brotha!!!🔥
👍👍👍👍👌🙏
Can you please tell me where i can order this replacement ? 😭
Link in the bio my guy! Hope this helps! ☺️👍🏽
My CRZ been broken for over 6 Months now... sucks...I use the passenger door .
I was wondering why the hole around the 5mm Allen was all drilled out on your car..... then I did this job myself and found out why... wtf Honda
Many steps missed
Just happened to me 😔
Could’ve been just a tad more descriptive at the end there tbh
Like with how to reassemble the bracket I mean
Electric locks make it very hard to do
Nope. You didn't showed us everything you did. One of the screws could not even get out, so I could not finish it by my own. 😔
Love the car, but the doors ....
Make me Rage to put it lightly 😂. Thanks for watching!
You do not have to remove the door jam latch mechanism. It didnt make the job hard at all
locking mechanism like the red and white thing? i’m having a hard time getting that off do you need to i’m order to take the handle off or can i leave it and just take that bolt off
@@alannihall1733 I mean the three phillips head bolts in the door jam. I didnt have to loosen or remove those to do the job.
who fck design door handle with plastic , i broke too by friend at last night
Throw the whole car away!
It’s actually a really good car 😂. Just the door handle is designed piss poorly 😂. Thanks for stopping by!
@@TommyMccoyMedia I loved my CR-Z!! But had to trade it in for something with a bit more room! Great video!
