PARTS INFORMATION





When ordering, be sure to choose the correct vehicle model, door position, and lower door panel color.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Replace the lower door panel with the new panel listed under PARTS INFORMATION.

1. Remove the door panel. (Refer to section 20 of the appropriate Accord Service Manual.)





2. Lay the door panel on a protective cloth, then remove these parts:

^ Speaker cover

^ Door pocket and inner door pocket

^ Armrest pocket with power window master switch

^ Door protector

^ Courtesy light





3. Remove the seven screws holding the upper and lower door panels together.

4. Separate the upper door panel from the lower door panel, and discard the lower one.

5. Install the parts you removed in step 2 onto the new lower door panel.





6. Look for a strip of wool felt along the bottom edge of the upper door panel. If the felt is not there, install a 7-mm-wide strip along the edge.

7. Join the new lower panel to the upper panel using the seven screws you removed in step 3.





8. Remove the paper backing from the felt tape on the lower panel, then attach the tape to the upper panel.

9. Reinstall the door panel. (Refer to section 20 of the appropriate Accord Service Manual.)

10. Check the operation of the power windows, the power mirrors, the door locks, and the courtesy light.
