On the newer Honda Honda Odyssey’s at least my 2006 you don’t have to
remove any interior panels and there is no circular adjustment wheel behind
the panel. TURN POWER DOORS OFF. Place jack under the door to hold. Remove
the Pin that holds the center roller. Slide Pin out and unbolt from door.
Take the unbolted mount part and attach new center roller with pin. Take
one cable at a time off the old center roller with someone helping you hold
them place them into the new center roller and then bolt mount back onto
the door.
I wasted a lot of time removing the interior when I didn’t need too
You’re right. Please send this comment to Youtube! When I uploaded it with
the original audio track the text stayed on for the full duration of the
image. Youtube signed some deal with Warner Music and enabled my original
audio track, at which point the text got screwed up – and to boot they
disabled the video in USA. So I changed audio tracks but the text is still
messed up! Thanks
@stevergee Try adjusting the center door hinge by sliding it one way or the
other and retigthening. A small adjustment made a big difference with my
door operation and can be done anytime.
Great video. Can I offer a small suggestion? Let the text stay visible
longer so we don’t have to hit pause to read it. I know, I know, that’s
being petty and it’s not a big deal. Really, just a suggestion from a lazy
youtube viewer ;-).
I was checking out your video. Thanks for the help! Question: is that a
Newfie I see lying on the floor of the van? If not, what kind of dog? It
looks like one of my Newfies. Thanks again!
have a 2005 Honda Odyssey and the driver’s side door seems to hit a snag
and then opens back up – the only way to close it is to sort of pull back
and out on it while it is closing – and ya have to try it few times before
you it to close all the way
video is awesome. thanks for posting. saved me about $300. Mine was the
right side door but almost everything was the same. before warranty was
out, my wife took it to have the door worked on. Looks like the Honda derp
greased the tracks. you don’t grease a wheel track. if you do, the wheel
slides instead of rolling, then gets flat spots and wears out.
Very concise video that shows all the steps clearly. I found that the
easiest way to remove the interior trim panel was to start slipping the
clips on the front of the panel working back to the hatch. Watch out for
the dc power clip and rear circutboard attached to the pane, just “unplug”
I would also recommend marking the center door hinge prior to removing, it
takes the guess work out of recalibrating the door on the reinstall.
@Avason1 Try to unwind that minimum tension to get the cables to release. I
actually undid too much and had to remove and re-assemble the cable from
the tensioner, which isn’t hard just a handful. Maybe best with 2 people –
one holds the cables another releases the tension.
Nice video…I can clearly see the plastic wheels on mine are worn.
Everything looks pretty straight forward. Is the hardest part the tension
part. I’m scared that if I mess that up I’ll be up the creek. How hard was
the tension part? Thanks
Open the door half way, then try to pull and push the back edge of the door
in to and away from the body. If you see the black hinge move more than
about 1/4″ then you probably have the same problem I did with the plastic
rollers missing. Sometimes you can see this if you look down the track with
the door open only about 1 foot.
I think you’d have to remove the cable assembly and replace the latch. The
latch is motorized and I don’t know how that would work if you disconnected
the motor drive to the power door. I’m guessing there’s some sensor in the
system that determines the door is closed before latching it. When I
manually close my door it won’t latch until I press the button on the dash.
I think the base model had manual sliding doors, so possibly you can get
parts from that model?
Great Nick! I did it! let me share my insites. Only buy the roller
assembly, not the bolted bracket on the door. U can easily remove the pin
and install the new roller assmby.. 48.00 at H. dealer- don’t need jack
stand need 1 foot of something (2.5 gal. bucket & wood piece).U will never
fit large panel back in place as origional it is hard because of top clips.
I did the right side HARD! Oh well… removing speaker grills U will lose
metal retain clips, they fall inside, try to recover. THANKS!
Quick notes, as I just did this on my ’06 odyssey: I didn’t have to release
the whole cable from the inside of the van, there is a tiny amount of play
in the cable that allows the little pegs to come out to no ill effect.
However, I found that when putting the sliding door bracket back on the
door, there is a lot of play in the bracket – if the door sticks afterward,
try re-jacking the door, and loosening the two bolts, and shimmying the
bracket toward that back of the car, and re-tighten…

Very Helpful and Good Shot of Video. Save us $$$$$ for Repairing Expenses.

@farina43537 Ha, no she’s a Border Collie Golden Retriever cross. Pretty
much smart enough to do this repair without me too!
