Hey man just want to say all of your crv videos really help me out. I am really surprised that they dont get more views cause I have watched a ton of crv videos and can say hands down yours are very informative and great instructional. I had a couple rd1 questions with your extensive knowledge. 1. I have oil leaking from what appears to be my oil sensor but cant pull the plug off and no matter how I try to get at it its like feeling around in the dark. Is there a good way to get at them and do you know what size socket one would use to take it off? 2. I have scoured the entire web trying to find a good instructional on how to replace the clutch in the rd1. Would you consider maybe taking that on in one of your videos?
are you referring to the pressure sensor on the back of the block? I think its a 24mm to remove it. In the event that I have a manual RD1 come in needing a clutch, I will surely record it!
im fairly positive that youtube doesn't push your videos im signed up for notifications and had to look for the honda resource to see them. Excellent video!
Good video mine was leaking into the vent. Hasn't leaked since. Couldn't take out the clips along the windshield, only the bottom ones and lifted it up. Put clear hard plastic over the top and held it with a strong magnet from a computer harddrive.
My 2004 CRV's leak is on the driver side. I believe the culprit a broken roof molding gasket. one of the molding pieces is loose as well. Aged, cracked, wind whipped, and broke. A molding screw looks stripped too. I think the rubber liner runs the full length of the molding from windshield all the way back to the read hatch. I had a piece of the rubber broken off right were the windshield molding meets the first roof molding above the driver door. The inside door fabric is damp at this location. I think the water is running all the way down the front part of the door and into the driver's floor. Lots of water there after too good days of rain. The gasket is discontinued. Have to use RTV to seal it up i guess. Tip: After removing the rack and the roof molding screws, you need to slide the molding to the rear about 3 inches to get past the clips. The slide in a groove with an outlet at one end. Should lift up easy after that. If not, you'll break the clips forcing it up. I did.
Anybody out there who would know a good starting price to ask I have a 97 CRV first gen 240,000 on it good strong running engine AC needs either the clutch or compressor or whole system not sure yet and I believe the rack and pinion is getting weak make a project or parts car for somebody
I replaced my cabin air filter over the weekend and noticed the metal side panel adjacent to the passenger door(8:27) was also rusted. I haven't noticed a leak but I also haven't had the vehicle too long. I'm going to have to check this out. Thanks for the video.
I have the same water problem but won't that black pan fill up with water if it has no where to drain after it rolls off the license plate I'm gunna have to do same thing BTW thank you so much for your video sir
I am after that too. I removed the cowl. Cleaned everything Used rtv on every possible leak points. Got my front windshield removed, rusty spots got patched up by a mechanic... The leak is in the middle... Maybe it is coming from heater core. Unfortunately I don't have the set up to do it myself. No driveway or garage at my house. it is hard to find a decent mechanic who would be willing to listen.
You have a fun job ahead, check all the usual suspects for the passenger side leak. (Roof rails, roof rack if equipped, blower intake shield, cowl seals, cracked sealant) If it’s none of these then rip the dash out and inspect all the sealant because it’s likely some of it has cracked. Like I said, it’s a fun job. That should get you set, good luck.
1996 crv driver's side is water drain for sun roof and drain from under windscreen flows over a cable that I think is the bonnett cable comes out behind driver's side wheel arch lineing rubber seal broken.
2000 CRV -EX 276,000 miles....Have you ever encountered one that both fans run continuously at normal engine temperature without the AC turned on? I recently replaced two of the sensors with OEM HONDA sensors. One was a coolant temp and the other activates the engine radiator fan. There is a third one that signals the temp gauge in the dash, but I didn't replace that one yet. Thank you for all of your awesome , helpful videos. : )
Dude thank you so much for doing these videos I bought the single worst Honda CRV 1999 it's ever existed I thought I had 177,000 miles on it when I bought it from a used car dealership it has over 350,000 and I've had to pull the head off with a buddy of mine and rebuild the head and I've been steadily pouring all my money is damn thing and I have no choice but we've had a lot of rain where I went to my new apartment there's pouring rain all night and I went out this morning and there was a 3-inch late in the passenger side floorboard and I thought that you've been fixed but nope so this save my ass cuz this looks like a really easy fix and I really appreciate you guys
Hepful of helpfulness 😢 Bra thankfully got it the leaking backseat rug after running air con n heater n wet vacuum rug . Sunny today too so no more rain ☔️ aloha bra gonna buy some caulking too for rooftop you are a savior bra for us here in Hawaii nei we send our shocka brudda!!!
I've had the same problem now. The carpet has dried up but I think that the insulation underneath is still wet and my car smells of damp. We thought that this water was overflowing from the thin hose from the sunroof. Water also comes to my trunk. Or probably through the light. However, in the trunk I can take out the wheel and wipe it. And there in front I don't know what to do. I don't understand what Honda did wrong with the construction of that car.. Many people have similar problems with water in this car. I like my car but now I would not buy the same one because this problem with water and besides, new models do not have a CD player. In my opinion, this is ignoring the customer. Especially since we pay a lot of money for it. I am looking for a car with a CD and it will probably Subaru. This company at least thinks about the needs of customers.
I REMOVE THE A PILLAR TRIM ON MY 07 HONDA FIT🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯I FOUND THE LEAK BRO ITS A BIG RUSHED CRACK A THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, the passenger floorboards are wet after heavy rain !!!! I can see but can't reach it I guess I have to remove my dash☹️but Im soooooooo glad I found it THANKS TO YOU👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 BIG UP UR DAMN SELF🇯🇲I'm out.....
@@daylightnunez1681 there was another comment further down where I sort of found an answer, and unfortunately it's not a very "easy" solution. Basically just pull the dashboard out and look for any leaks or gaps in any of the sealant and patch it.
For the license plate tapping on the cowling I came up with a technique for rattles years ago I call it "GLOBOGOOP" a global o revolution, silicone or any ol goop'l'doer
Curious to see... I have a 97 that I thought was an HVAC drain issue (I cleaned it out pretty well and it drains better). I ended up spraying lysol under the dash and at the top of the carpet. That helped for a couple of days but after running the AC and one shower the mildew smell came back. I can't find any DIRECT wet carpet on either side of the car. Any thoughts about a slow leak? Perhaps just like you mention windshield?
I helped him find the leak... it seems to be the seal on the windshield... where exactly is the question. so I would say as time goes on it is the seal that is commonly failing now.
Had to replace PCM. Don't have visible water entering, but side bolster panel was rusty. What else can't cause PCM to fail? Gonna replace windshield soon.
Have watched several of these and no one shows how to remove the wiper arms !!!! The hardest part and needed a special puller to do it. Don't attempt this repair without the puller. All other methods are a waste of time and you might break your cowling plastic like I did, and now have to repair that.
new subs here from Philippines...Just want to know if fresh air vent really works because when i turn Recirculation Button off, the blower barely blows air, as if something is blocking the air it sips...other wise when the recir button is on you will really notice the air sounds like strong breeze. thanks
I located a water leak on one of my vehicles by turning the blower motor on full blast to pressurize the cabin and then applied soapy water (car wash) to various suspected areas. It was the windshield seal up along the top edge of the glass. The area was slightly perforated with rust holes along the seal.
I used this same method to find seam leaks on new FLD Freightliners back in the nineties. Really tricky trying to climb up onto a new truck without scratching the paint on the customer's truck in some places.
Thank you so much for making first gen crv content, it is so helpful
heck yeah!
And this morning I realize mine is leaking. Looked it up and your video is the first that pops up! You and Cody keep it up! Y’all are doing awesome!
Dang man, I hope you get it fixed up
THX for this CRV vids. Have this old piece of rust but still running and it don't want to die so easy. Now I know hot to fix it! :)

thanks .. you saved me a bunch of guessing .. never could see where it was leaking but you shed some light on it .............
It looks like the windshield urethane has turned loose from the body
No one can answer the drivers side leak. Ever. lol. Thanks for the passenger vid tho.
Maybe one day I will have one come through that I can look at
@@hondaresource no worries. Any videos you make are always appreciated!! Thank you!! 👍

Yes, that is normal. They are classified as radiator or condenser fans but both activate with the a/c or the engine temp.
My issue is the air-conditioning...

Great job on all the info in using my family owned gen 1 crv and noticed that drip however followed your video and was perfect for the fix
Awesome! 🤟
IF IT ALSO HAS A OEM ROOF RAIL, THE WATER USUALLY SETTLES ONDER AND AROUND THE SEALS/BOLTS, RUSTS IT OUT AND THEN RUNS DOWN ON THE HEADLINER
I don't usually see many rust related issues here in Alabama
I have that problem but in the driver side in foot 🦶 spots what I need to do ?
Same here, I came looking for this comment
@@Carguyforlife I don’t get the answer yet if you get it lmk know please

thank you!
I am buying my wife of 30 years today a 2005 Honda CR-V so any insight I will be watching
They are pretty solid units!
I appreciate your channel greatly it has by far been a great help to me

Its very simple. All you need is a 14mm and like 2 seconds they are off.
The seam on the top of the roof Under the roof rack mounts is cracked brother. Not the window seal.
My 98 rd1 crv leaks on the passenger side front and back on that one side
"hi5, namaste" amazing video buddy:-*
shared with my mechanic and my best friend i hope will help me. thank u so much.
Just did this on my crv a couple days ago
yes i saw new video. thank you!

Mine does!
No water on the passenger side, only driver side while sitting parked in the driveway
Lmao the thumbnail looks exactly like my car rn 😹
Rip 🤣
A+
Phillip i gave you another thumbs up on this but mine is not leaking. YET!
thank you!
@@hondaresource you’re welcome
Bro when I make it big, in hiring you as my mech engineer
Lmk 😂
How much did you charge for this type of job? Great video
I really don't know. Kinda just did it for the video
hello there my crv leaks on both sides
I'm not sure on the driver side leak
repairs on sunroof 1997 please
Sunroof wasn't a factory option so I can't give you accurate info. Aftermarket suppliers made them differently
I located a water leak on one of my vehicles by turning the blower motor on full blast to pressurize the cabin and then applied soapy water (car wash) to various suspected areas. It was the windshield seal up along the top edge of the glass. The area was slightly perforated with rust holes along the seal.
The customer had this windshield installed several months ago, so they are taking it back to the installer.
I used this same method to find seam leaks on new FLD Freightliners back in the nineties. Really tricky trying to climb up onto a new truck without scratching the paint on the customer's truck in some places.
