  • My friends 2006 Honda Odyssey's doors weren't working properly. Sometimes they wouldn't close. Sometimes they wouldn't open all the way. The most common cause of this problem is worn door rollers. This video shows how to replace those door rollers the 'easy' way that will take you half the time that the factory procedure would.
    This video will apply to most Honda Odyssey's up to the 4th generation. In other words, Honda Odyssey's from 1998-2017.

    Piece of advice: when it comes time to seat and unseat cable ends back into the hinge, turn the sliding door switch at the drivers console OFF! If not, pulling on the cables can trigger the automatic cable motor. And if it slips out of your hands, you will see your hopes and dreams retract into the dark hole of cable nightmares. Once it retracts, it will lock, and the only way to fix it is to take off the whole panel in the back as the other video in the description shows (only it's not as easy on a 2007) and release the tension. Or, you will be stuck doing it like me and just cutting the cables and converting the door to manual. Oh well. I was so close, too.

I would not want my car to be fixed with this kind of guy.

    Tip for removing those tail lights, get a piece of duct tape on it, so you can pull it straight back from the outside edge without getting it sideways. Works great on these style tail lights, we do it at the shop all the time.

      Hi Felipe! Did you figure this out yet? Mine does the exact same thing! If i pull the fuse to reset it, the door will work perfectly 3 or 4 times. Then the 'slide door' light pops up on the dash and it stops working until I pull the fuse and reset it again. If it were the rollers, it seems like it wouldn't work perfectly for the 3 or 4 times after the fuse pull reset. I need help. Don't wanna take it to the dealer and your comment is the ONLY one I've found from any and every forum to describe my problem to a 'T'.

    Thanks for putting this video together! My dad and I replaced two of these over the weekend and it took less than an hour (total). Two sets of hands makes it go much faster!
    One small tip for removing the tail lights - use a soft cloth as a "rest" underneath a flathead screwdriver and gently pry off the taillight from the outside "point" at its further point along the side of the van. The light comes out very easily that way and you don't risk cracking the plastic support on the taillight as a result.

  • @fotopdo

    Excellent video as usual - I just completed the repair today and I have a few suggestions:
    1. turn off the auto door switch to the left of the steering wheel. Commenters seem to suggest otherwise, but for me it shut down any auto function including dash switch, door handles and remote [I would double check your vehicle]. Aside from not accidentally sucking the cable inside, it is much easier to complete the repair with it off, allowing you to position the door wherever you want.
    2. Once I was ready to remove the roller, I pushed the door only about 1/3 open, supported the door, removed 12mm bolts - and because I only opened the door a smaller amount, you can just slide the roller to the rear without needing to slide the door outward, and you have plenty of space for the swap.
    3. I had a severely rusted pin on one side. My best guess is that someone replaced it previously and did NOT grease the pin. Bad Person. If I were to do this again, I would get a new pin from Honda ... they are available at Amazon and hondapartsnow. In fact the "Female" half of the bracket [that bolts to the door] is pretty cheap on HPN.. they have the pin for $10 and door side bracket for $16.
    I'm speaking about the 2005-2010 vans, if you have previous Gen, you can find complete pairs [china] on Amazon. As it happened for me, I spent an hour trying to get the original apart, then went to the junkyard, that one was worse and I destroyed the pin, so after another hour I finally got the original pin out in one piece. But If I have any future problems, I'll get all new parts.
    4. I would take the time to clean out the track the rollers move in. Mine was full of old grease and I assume bits of disintegrating wheels. I cleaned it thoroughly with WD-40 and then used spray lube that is not supposed to collect grime.

    Eric, the 2005-2010 Odys don't have the twist cable adjustment behind the trim panel that you showed from your earlier video. The later models use two white tabs on the motor assembly that you have to pull up to put slack in the cable. When you're done you push them back down to put the spring tension back on. Another trick is to turn off the power to the doors and you can move the door manually and put it wherever you want it. I usually just open the door to where the rear of the door swings out and then work the trim piece from there. Then you can move it back a ways to replace the roller.

    Tip: Instead of fiddling around with the window, there's an easy way to get the door to stop at any point along it's travel. If you push forwards on the inner handle of the door while it is opening, the door will stop in whatever position it is in. Only works with the inner handle though, pulling the outer one just closes it again. I feel like knowing that would have helped a lot, you could have just cracked the door open a little bit rather than trying to slide that metal piece out from behind it without scratching things.
    Thanks a ton for the video! Need to do this on our Odyssey, so your timing couldn't have been better.

    Someone else mentioned already that the door motors on these 3rd gens are completely different than the 2nd gen motor you showed. I made a video where I replaced the cable on the door opener on my 3rd gen and it shows how to give it slack, and even the internals of the motor: th-cam.com/video/P6IDuQc2fLs/w-d-xo.html

    I just wanted to say thank you for such an excellently prepared and narrated video. I replaced this part on both of my slider doors yesterday. Because of your instruction, the entire job took me about an hour to finish both doors. I am especially grateful that you didn't edit out the two "errors" you made in breaking the tail light plastic and in letting the c-ring fly away from the hinge pin. These allowed me to avoid making the same mistake on my own van. Each one of these would have been a thousand dollar repair at the dealership. Your instruction just saved me $2,000. Thank you.

    Made my own tool to help get the cable back in. Took an old flat head screwdriver and cut a notch in the center. Put the end in the hole then use the screwdriver to push the cable into place. Take care not to stab yourself. This gives you a lot more slack then using needle nose.

    Hey Eric, thanks for making this video. Quick question: When I press the button to open my passenger sliding door, sometimes it opens seemingly flawlessly. But sometimes, it struggles to open, can't open, and then reseals itself shut. In this scenario, the door doesn't move at all, just sort of unlatches, then tries to open, can't, then relatches shut.
    I'm not sure if I should replace the center rollers or whether to replace the rear latch assembly(maybe not replace, but take out and regrease all the little components). Any insight? Thanks again for the great channel.
