2000 CRV Door panel removal

---------------------------------------------

Install sheets for the 'tweeter kit' will help you remove the door panel:

You've probably broken the tiny plastic lever that attaches to the solonoid in the DOWN switch and it's jamming. Disassembly of the switch is tricky, but the price of a new switch panel is over $300 IIRC. You'll lose (you've probably lost) your 'auto-down' feature too.

Thank you. I hope to look at the problem tonight. The diagram you sent looks pretty straight forward.Hope I find something simple. Thanks again.

I was hinting that your DOWN switch (on the dash) is broken because the little plastic lever (internal) has jammed itself against the solonoid (which interrupts the auto-down). Probably has nothing to do with removing the door panel. HOWEVER . . It may also be that the window is stuck half-way down because one of the big screws has backed part-way out. Similar to this TSB:

I finally got the CRV from my daughter to work on. After the good instructions and the door skin removed I found the motor barely hanging on by 1 of 4 bolts. The sheet metal was somewhat damaged where the bolts went thru. After getting all 4 lined up and the window in track it was a success. It just seems now that the window seems to go up really tight. I was wondering if there is some adjustment. Thanks again.

If the door panel is still off, try loosening and retightening the mounting bolts when the window is in the "up" position. I haven't had Hondas bind, but our old Dodge (shudder!) was really bad about it. Otherwise, spraying the channel with silicone spray is popular.

Thanks, that's a good idea.
