Thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind words. I’m glad I could help!
Hope you’re subscribed! thanks again!
Just bought a 3rd gen CRV so I’m definitely subscribed now
Thank you!
OMG….. That looks AWESOME!!!I NEEEEEEEEEED THESE!😮💯🙌
Yes you do!
Excellent! Thanks for your help!!
Glad it helped! 👊🏼
Great video, thank you
Glad you liked it!👊🏼
I just found these on ebay and came looking to see if anyone had tried it. I just bought a 2011 CRV off my parents as a second car. Its not something I want to spend a lot of money on so things like this are great. And for me it doesn't matter if I have to change them every 18 months or whatever. I still think $12 and 2 hours every 18 months is worth it.
Exactly. It sure is worth it. That’s why I’m doubting actually refinishing and painting the trim. I figure I would just keep replacing these pieces off of eBay. They look great! Thanks for your comment and input! I do a lot of CRV content on my channel, thanks for sticking around 👊🏼
Finally an update!
Yea, make more videos!
I staged sanded mine out going from 600 to 2000 and finished with 3m plastic polish as I’m not a stick on guy.
Cool, but they’re metal. Plastic polish? You used plastic polish after sanding them to a matte black state? Well ok then.
The pillars are metal but have a OEM rvinyl coating and clear that lifts from UV rays. I never sanded down to the metal substrate and finished with 3m plastic compound that responds well to plastics, rubber, vinyl, clears and paints because of its very fine 3000+ grit.
Another great fix Nick, did you think about applying a little heat during installation , great upgrade for not a lot of money , did you add the ceramic coating , would probably prevent scuff marks
Thanks you very much! No.. I never considered heat. The trim pieces are very playable and the adhesive so far is pretty good. It didn’t need to be softened up with heat, probably would’ve melted it lol! I didn’t ceramic coat it yet…. Soon.
I have a 2009 CRV. To me, the fading petina is just fine. What matters is how she drives and the reliability.
I guess I have the best of both worlds!
Reliability, runs fantastic and looks awesome!
You can have both appearance and reliability! Geez…
I replaced the door trim window felt things with Amazon product on two Hondas 08-12. They work fine. I forgot to remove film on one trim piece. I think they were $40 a package.
Thanks for the info! And your support 👊🏼
Hey can you post the link?
@@themechanic2.060 I'm not a professional mechanic. I just got sick of the trim messing up the deflectors and watched a good video of the guy showing how to replace them. I just had to order the plastic tools used for trim prying. $42 for this car.

I don't know if links are auto removed....

Some interior detailing tips would be most appreciated. I have water stains on the door panel and stains on the plastic trim by the gear shifter that I can't seem to remove.
Great idea.
Wow, didn't know they made these I'm curious to see how long it will last. My 09 has the same problem and I hate it.
Why do you suppose those things get all jacked up to begin with???
Age and weather. Thanks for your comment!
In CR-V group they say it is not a long life solution. Iam curious about how long it will last for you. I having the same problem, I will do a clean coat on it.
It’s definitely not a long term solution. As I said in the video I’m eventually going to refinish all 6 trim pieces base coat/clear coat and replace the belt moldings too. I’ll definitely be giving updates on the longevity of these stick on trim pieces. Thanks for your feedback! Hope you’re subscribed!
You did this video almost a year ago, how did they hold up? Depending on your response, I'm gonna scoop some up for my '09.
They’re holding up awesome. 👍🏻
Hey, i have a CRV 2009 and am thinking on placing sounddeadening mats inside the door panels. Do you have any experiance about it ? will it work?
Sound deadening mats are nice. I’ve used them for keeping things quiet when installing aftermarket audio. I’ve used it to replace the water damaged spray foam the factory uses in the spare tire well. ( I’ve done a video on that too ) I tend to use the Killmat brand. They work great for silencing road noise. Are you having a problem with noise? Thanks for your comment!
@@themechanic2.060 Not really, but i was driving a sedan bmw before and the Honda has a larger cabin which has more resonation in my experience . The door are not isolated that good, i can hear it while closing it. Compared to the bmw, the doors close very clunky.
Any of you guys has problems with the ac ? Mine airconditioner compressor is going on and off very often, like 5 or 6 times per minute for a few seconds. it was empty before and is now filled but even then the same thing happens.
Very common problem with CRV AC is faulty AC clutch relay. Also the thermal protector in the compressor goes bad. More reliable and economical to change the compressor when the protector goes bad rather than replace it. Especially if your car is older with higher mileage. Lastly the magnetic clutch itself fails as well… again replacing the compressor is the way to go if that happens rather than replacing the clutch. Hope this helps! Hope you’re subscribed 🙏!
@@themechanic2.060 I had mailed the garage where i bought the car, they answered and say it is normal....
The compressor cycling is normal as long as it’s blowing cold. 5 to 6 times per minute is a bit much though.
Good luck my friend.
@@themechanic2.060 That is also what i think. so if i drive for an hour with the ac on, the compressor will start and stop 300 times !! to work and back home 400 times a day and 1600 times a week !! I don;t think this is normaI and not very good for the system overall. I will have someone else with knowleadge take a look at it.
Exactly. That is not normal. There is something definitely wrong if it’s doing that. Probably one of the above common problems I mentioned. Definitely have it checked out by a professional auto mechanic.
Hey Mechanic, So it's almost a year later, are they still on? How'd they hold up??
On a scale of 1-10 pickles, how many pickles would you give??🥒👑
lol.. yes there still on and looking great! And I didn’t even ceramic coat them yet. So far I give it
10 pickles! 👊🏼
Should I get a new corolla or civic?
New Civic. Thanks for your comment!
Hope you’re subscribed!
Honda!
Are they still holding up??
Yes! And they still look as good as they do in the video.
you gotta do what you gotta do to save money
Thanks for your comment. You don’t like saving money?
@@themechanic2.060 of course I do,I ant find the link where you bought them tho🙁
